Inkscape is a a good software for editing/creating <SVG> files.
Its functionality is fundamental for as a <software for drawing geometry diagrams>, as it is a good middle ground between algorithmic generation, and <raster graphics>.
At 1.0.2, its <UI> is a bit terrible:
* the way the menus open on the right with title below the window...
* several defaults are atrocious, e.g. export drawing rather than page
And it crashes from time to time on <Ubuntu> 21.04. And it has some glaring bugs, e.g.:
* https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/5794
But still, it is a very good initiative.
What would be really amazing is if they had constraints: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/1465 like proper <CAD> software, it would make it possible to not have to redo entire diagrams when you want to change a small part of them.
