    Because you only get 10 free “curves” - it’s misleading

    LibreOffice Draw is a very simple drawing suite. It may be sufficient for many, but not sufficient to be declared an alternative to InkScape.

    LibreOffice draw is good for schemes, but not for what Inkscape does - Inkscape is a graphic design tool, not a scheme creator.

    Though commercial it's fast and packed with features. Not as expandable as Inkscape the core engine is very fast and the way it handles bitmaps leaves Inkscape far behind

    Xara Designer is way faster and stable than Inkscape. You can think of it as what Paint Tool Sai is to raster art programs (super responsive and stable, but has limited number of tools), Xara Designer is the same to vector art.
