When I saw what a mess Corel had become, and that Inkscape can open Corel files, and has a light theme, and best of all IS SCALABLE, I joined right up!
I took a Corel seminar 25 years ago. I was using v10 (old) up till now. I'm surprised and pleased to see what Inkscape has evolved into. [tips hat]
We moved from Corel to Inkscape at the local makerspace when Corel got more expensive. We have a dozen machines with Inscape installed... just one with an older version of Corel.
(There are still some Corel holdouts, but not many.)
When I discovered in 2012 that Inkscape v0.48 could import Corel, I switched and never looked back. It wasn't really about money for me. It was the fact that Inkscape's native graphic language was SVG and was Open Source.
I got burned a decade earlier when another software company went bankrupt with very few options to move my designs to another platform. SVG will be around for a long time.
