Imagine if Inkscape was available on Android.

I tried Inkscape, but I am too stupid to use it. It is a really cool piece of software though.
I doubt Inkscape is runs natively on Wayland without XWayland though.

Too complex for the average Android device usecase. Most people won't be making professional vector graphics on a smartphone or tablet.

Not being able to draw or make good pictures with any tool (physical or otherwise) does not make you stupid.

Are you by any chance referring to upcoming Inkscape 1.0 based on GTK3 which has native Wayland support?

Oh, I haven't heard about it.
I hope to see it soon, it sounds very good!

That is possibly the first kind thing I've ever seen you write.

prokoudine Inkscape 1.0 is coming soon right?

Hopefully? It's an alpha currently, the team had two hackfests earlier this year, they are really up to doing the release ASAP, there's just a lot to do.

Further proof that you don't see reality, you see what you want to see.

I was just correcting him as I always do. Nothing more, nothing less.

Couldn't Canonical put him on working fully on Inkscape???

Never mind...
