IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Inkscape is used most of the time by our Social Media department to create social media posts and also to create mock-ups for our products.
Inkscape has helped us solve a budget issue, considering that Inkscape is totally free and open-source, this is a great service for small companies like ours and also for freelancers.
We always try to use Inkscape instead of other paid software to reduce our budget, also considering the fact that Inkscape offers many features and tools that can keep up with paid software also.

Pros
- Many features, and easily accessible tools.
- The keyboard shortcuts are very simple and efficient to use.
- Open-source, so there are features to change the theme of the interface and make your workspace look cooler.
Cons
- A few tools and features that can be found in other software are not available in Inkscape.
- Inkscape cannot edit .eps files, which are a widely known file format that is used by all designers.
- Inkscape doesn't support multiple artboard exports
Likelihood to Recommend
I would 100% recommend Inkscape to anyone starting out with graphic design or illustration, as it isn't that difficult to get the hang of on the first day of using it. I am not recommending Inkscape for beginners alone, even experts in the field can use Inkscape professionally as it cuts of the expense of needing to buy a paid graphic design software which provides almost the same features.
Inkscape is also great for beginners because it can be treated like a stepping stone to move onto a paid graphic designing software like Adobe Illustrator, so Inkscape can be used to test the waters before making the leap.
Inkscape and Illustrator are almost the same so there wont be any difficulty in switching later on.
