What it is
A vector editor for logos, icons, illustrations and print layouts, using the open SVG format. The main code is on GitLab, and the star count is from there.
Good for
Logos, icons and scalable illustrations without a subscription.
The catch
Complex files can get slow, and the workflow differs from Illustrator, so expect a learning curve. Some Illustrator-specific features are missing.
