To be honest, I am neither using inkscape, dia or draw on a regular basis. But I think the point is that inkscape is a full-blown vector graphic program, it aims to compete against corel draw or adobe products. which is great. Dia tries to do the same for business graphics and aims to be a competitor for MS visio. which is great, too.
As part of a office suite, I think a program like dia should be there. but maybe draw is even better than dia already? I see Inkscape more as an additional piece of software for vector graphics (comparing to gimp for pixelgraphics), but I might be wrong. regards, Bernhard ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- > On Fri, 2010-10-22 at 13:05 +0200, Krabina Bernhard wrote: > > > So should't LibreOffice drop > > > the > > > Draw module and work instead toward a full integration with > > > Inkscape? > > > > I don't think so, as Inkscape ist something for professional users. > > > Inkscape is no more difficult to learn than Draw.
