I've used it two times now (the very current version from today, the stable one), both times it crashed after about 15 minutes.
The first time was a few days ago, I tried to use the "mesh mould / mesh distortion" tool on a simple shape that came from Inkscape. I really think I want to adobt a new technique where I just draw the result, not something that is to be distorted later. I could just add a bit of curvature to every line and I'll get that cartoonish style without mesh tool. In DP it once crashed, in Xara it has had minor problems, in Inkscape it crashed. I am the bug. The software is ok. I should not use weird tools.
Anyway today I wanted to use Inkscape the second time this year, with an SVG from Xara. The drawing was not that complicated, but Inkscape crashed when I hit CTRL+Z, so undo probably crashed.
When it crashes, the Main window just disappears. Probably there is a crash log somewhere, but I don't know how.
I find the idea of Open Source (and somehow free) software just great, nothing but great. I won't give up on that. Probably I should use the ways that Inkscape users go. That's the safe route.
Uh.. actually.. I've only used Inkscape today because Xara said "internal program error gzgz.dpo.ddrtrt". Something with characters and two dots.
Staying positive.. I want to draw things.
