Illustrator can save PDF and SVG, which are standards, but its own
format is a proprietary mess.

Inkscape is now good enough for me to use for real world work, but the
lack of CMYK support would be a killer for some workflows.

I have some files I saved with Mac Corel Draw a decade ago that no
software on my current Mac will read. So I have personal experience of
proprietary software locking me out of my own work. It's not just a
theoretical concern.
