ScislaC++ I love all that you (and team) do, always. I use Inkscape every day, and love all of it, even the parts that are not perfect, because it's free, it's ours, and if I wanted to, I could learn how to fix it myself. I certainly would not complain about any piece of open source software not being exactly as I wanted it, since the point of open source software is that I can make it precisely as I wish at any time. I have that ability.
