If you're a cottage industry solopreneur, a cricut hobbyist, or a makerspace regular, you've probably heard of Inkscape. Often dismissed by design professionals as a poor substitute for fully fleshed out design tools or simply "not industry standard," this 19 year old vector graphics powerhouse allows artists, designers, scrapbookers and makers alike to create high quality graphics and illustrations that can be used anywhere, from the browser to printed collateral and laser-etched goods. Inkscape, like many other free and open source software (FOSS) projects, has been taking great strides in recent years to match, if not surpass, commercial alternatives in terms of features, output, and usability. FOSS users have long been privy to a a world of software all but unknown to those who have never ventured from the comfort of Microsoft, Adobe, Alphabet, and Oracle, or the shimmering walled-garden of the Apple ecosystem. It hasn't always been easy, pretty, or even stable, but these days free and open source software projects are more organized, better funded, and more accountable than ever before, and people are starting to take notice.
