“fast workflow”
Pros
Speed is the part I value most. On top of that the toolset lets us produce very high-quality graphics while keeping compatibility with practically any software. After more than 10 years of using it, I've never once regretted choosing it.
Cons
On certain projects, handling files can get a bit slower which means you sometimes have to divide the work into multiple files. Every now and then the program may crash but it does save a backup copy before closing.

“excellent for conference figures”
Pros
This program has been excellent for building detailed science and engineering visuals. We use it regularly to prepare conference materials especially when we need more advanced design capabilities than something like PowerPoint can offer.
Cons
Honestly we haven't run into any problems with the program at all so far.

“Free design tool with helpful tutorials”
Pros
The fact that it is free to use is a huge plus and it's simple enough for just about any graphic design project. On top of that there are lots of videos available that make learning the software much easier.
Cons
At times I wish more fonts came included with the software right from the start.

“great Illustrator alternative”
Pros
After getting familiar with it, I can pretty much do everything that Illustrator can do.
Cons
A few long standing bugs are still there and I have to restart it every time just to load new fonts. Also some actions take quite a while and the app can feel slow and a little cluttered at times. Certain tools especially gradient management are also confusing to work with.

“lots of editing options”
Pros
Being free was a big plus and it included the features I needed. Also it offers a wide range of editing options though it really helps to go through the tutorials before trying to modify your image.
Cons
Navigating the interface and using the tools I needed for editing my images was difficult.

“Bringing ideas to life”
Pros
The software really lets me turn creative ideas into something real on the canvas which is one of the best parts of using it.
Cons
There is definitely a bit of a learning curve at the beginning but aside from that I don't really have anything to complain about.

“vector design powerhouse”
Pros
Covers all of my vector design needs really well and works as a top vector graphics tool. Exporting designs is easy too and I can use the files however I need without any trouble.
Cons
Getting used to the layout at the beginning can be challenging and customizing everything during the initial setup takes some time to figure out.
