The filter preview feature seems really nice!
Honestly, Inkscape is at the very least almost as good as Illustrator - call me deluded but I find more intuitive in many cases.
Now if only GIMP could actually have some money pumped into it and a sane UI… 😒
I find that I’ll do the bare minimum in GIMP (like that one healing extension), and then I’ll copy what I have over to Inkscape to do the rest.
