It could work with Inkscape. I'm trying to get some funding to hire a couple of devs, and PC support and Inkscape support are very high on the list of priorities.
I have had a lot of difficulty finding out how widely Inkscape is actually used. I look in the user forums etc., but apart from hobbyists, I don't hear about people using it for business.
If you have any info, links etc., I'd greatly appreciate it.
Every time you add a tool that can be used to edit SVG, you add addressable market to your product. It's not about Inkscape, it's about SVG. Letting people use the editor of their choice just makes the product more useful. Also, inkscape is free, so you don't have $600/year in subscription fees to someone else as a barrier to adoption.
I don't unfortunately. I used to use Illustrator at work but these days I only create SVG for personal projects. I have recommended Inkscape to college students learning design to avoid the cost of AI, but that's about it.
I have used Inkscape extensively in several professional projects - in fact I designed an entire custom icon set consisting of hundreds of SVG images. The Inkscape executable even supports command line arguments that invoke various functions so it can be used for batch processing and in scripts (I wrote a Perl script to automate several tasks involving my icon set).
