CMYK on the horizon too
Martin Owens is working on a new PDF exporter that will allow you to use an ICC colour profile to have correct CMYK colours for printing, basically essential for professional printing.

Been using Inkscape for about 15 years, probably the most enjoyable software I’ve ever used!
I still remember looking at it (with its super cool sports car illustration) at the top result(s) at Sourceforge (when Sourceforge was the hub for all things open source, back in 2006), downloading each update from whatever computer from uni and bringing it back home to doddle stuff. Inkscape always was in my top 5 tools for uni along with GIMP (and Krita afterwards), Imagemagick, ConTeXt and MetaPost.
Inkscape is fantastic. It’s easier to learn than Ai and you don’t have to pay for it.
