Inkscape is a tool I wish had better OS X support, the way it handles the gui just feels broken for me, compared to Windows or GNU/Linux.



IMHO, using Xquartz doesn’t allow for a good user experience. So I have installed iDraw instead. I haven’t used it that much yet but it seems nice. Not open source though.


Agreed. I have Inkscape installed, but pretty much never use it because of the XQuartz experience. I use Intaglio[1] instead.

Sincerely, it doesn't feel native in Windows as well.


Hey, Im happy with it regardless, and super stoked to see Native Windows 64-bit build support.


It is not the developer's fault. The problem is that there is no up to date builds with up to date dependencies. Maybe msys2 provides an answer. Currently is in pre version.


I'm not sure - its really minor stuff like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19746944/inkscape%20sele...


I took the courage to try the x86_64 pre4 of msys2. It is fabulous. The previous version as unusable.



Look at my message above.
