    It does not have all the features that Inkscape has, but it is a much lighter weight free & open source alternative.

    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.
