I run Xara in Fusion these days, and it runs fine.
I wonder which will be released first. A native Xara or a native InkScape...

PS. There's a new guy at work who, like me, also chose to shun Illustrator for something else. However, he uses InkScape, so I'm going to take this opportunity to learn more about it!
