You know a good open source Illustrator alternative? I’ve only worked with Inkscape here and there, but the interface is pretty challenging for me to wrap my head around after spending so much time in Illustrator

graphite looks promising but is still in early days

The only solid vector graphics app I've used in open source is Inkscape. I agree, it's very difficult to get to know, even moreso if you're coming from old school raster imaging and don't get all the mathiness. I had to learn Inkscape though, because I needed to make fantasy maps with textual titles that didn't look like crap when rescaled.

I'm no expert, but it does pay off to learn. It's a very powerful set of tools.
