It finally happened.
I had been using Adobe illustrator for years to make neon patterns and take care of all my vector needs (laser, cnc, vinyl, etc.)
About 8 months ago I switched over to inkscape to take care of these needs and make my neon patterns.
Recently I have been teaching some high school students how to make neon patterns and I taught them inkscape- a bunch of them still sent illustrator files back (I told them they coulduse whatever as long as it was vector)
I found myself instinctively pressing all the inkscape hotkeys when using illustrator. Illustrator now feels clunky to me.
The students are learning to use adobe products because they are (for now) provided to them. I will be teaching another of these digital design to neon classes next spring and this one will be outside of academia. I shall be teaching them to use the inkscape tool and it will be available to them :)
yaaaay inkscape!
