      All of this would've been three clicks in Inkscape: select the problem nodes, click the "make straight edge" button, click the "align vertically" button. Maybe click on and hit delete on any unnecessary nodes, though by then they wouldn't be a problem anyway.

      After one hour I gave up, opened the AI file in PDF mode in Inkscape, and re-created the gradient meshes (which were the only thing that doesn't get imported properly). This took less than half the time I wasted trying and failing to fix **one edge** in Illlustrator.

      I don't care what "it's a complicated program and you don't know what to use it" excuses people default to, if I can't open your vector editor and... figure out how to make a trivial change... in one hour... with Google searches... and export is broken... then it's garbage.

      I have no idea how "professionals" find that piece of utter trash usable or tolerable. This is completely insane.

      Because Inkscape is not really better. Just different. You knew how to do what you wanted to do and did it quickly. I wanted to have a working tablet input on Windows and Inkscape let me down. The export glitches are not unheard of in Inkscape either. Everything is shit.

      Inkscape doesn't do *this*. Tell me how this isn't insane. Phantom nodes that you can't see until you hover? Which when dragged drag neighboring nodes too? And everything moves unpredictably? What?pic.twitter.com/JDwPf1yBSV

      My Illustrator Fu is rusty as I stopped using back when I stopped pirating software. But those look to me like the FreeHand bezier nodes. Which I agree are confusing but I'd expect them to be normal to someone used to AI.

      What are "FreeHand" bezier nodes? I'm getting no useful hits on that. All I can see is two "normal" bezier nodes, and some incomprehensible stuff in between that I can make zero sense of nor adjust in any sensible way.

      Macromedia FreeHand had bezier curves implemented differently from anything I've ever used at the time or since. AI is a great grandchild of that.

      Remember that for Adobe, using techniques not transposing to other tools or software is a feature, not a bug. Seeing friends struggling with Inkscape while being wiz on AI stopped surprising me years ago. I just wish Inkscape was reliable.

      At least Inkscape panic-saves your work 95% of the time it crashes. With Illustrator, I've heard, you lose your most recent work if you're lucky, or it corrupts your whole file if you aren't.

          But I can use a tablet with AI if I were to pay for it. Yes I'm still angry about the tablet input not working. And yes I know this is more on Gtk+ than Inkscape itself. But it matters.

          Those who use this professionally for most of the day (and I know quite a few of them), are not likely to switch to Inkscape — "Oh I tried, it didn't let me use the tablet, I went back to my pirate copy of AI instead." They don't care about Free Software.
