    Similarily to GIMP vs Adobe Photoshop, once you get used to the differences, just about anything is possible. Keep in mind though that switching is always harder than just starting out with a piece of software. In other words, it's easier to use Inkskape if you've never started out with Coreldraw in the first place, and vice versa.

    Its not intuitive. Its like a new program of design, and that its hard to assimilate.

    I have been using this for more than 10 years for major creative work that includes but is not restricted to The International Film Festival of India and Science Film Festival of India. Does what it is supposed to do and with the new multiple page options its even better.
