The UI isn't the best, but is it really that bad? I've used some adobe software as well, and I don't really find Inkscape's UI that hard to use in comparison. Whether it's pretty is another question.
I agree that it's bad for editing anything more than a page, didn't think of that as I only really use it to make figures, which I think it's pretty great for.
Idk about you but I thought this was the case as well, since the last time I used Inkscape was probably like 6 years ago, and at the time, the UI was super dated looking (don't get me wrong, it was still functional).
The different is night and day now, I honestly couldn't tell that it was the same software. UI looks super clean and modern.

Version 1.3 has introduced a shape builder tool, always nice to have that. Overall, it seems that is has improved quite a bit in the last few years, so that's good to see
They revamped the entire interface, it's based on GTK3 and feels honestly very modern. I don't use it every day so take my feedback with a grain of salt
Yeah they are full GTK now, on Windows it looked weird too
Inkscape is my go-to for creating decals for 3D assets.
What issues have you run into on macOS? I use inkscape on my quite new mac very often, and don't have any issues. The command line tools for inkscape are also pretty good I think, and work without any issues (I get some
critical warning's every now and then though, but nothing has affected output yet).
