I just launched Inkscape (a recent version) for the first time in quite a while.

Not bad! And I enjoy that its default selection mode is the one I find most important in vector-art applications: select only things that are totally enclosed by the selection marquee.

Illustrator isn't even capable of selecting this way as an option, which makes it a monumentally tedious, deal-breaking PITA to use. And, of course, people have been complaining about this for decades now. Ignored by Adobe. So much for their "subscription model will allow us to do more timely bug fixes and enhancements" lie.




If you're feeling a bit masochistic, I think you can get Inkscape to behave like that too.


I can self-punish adequately with various other applications, thanks!
