    Similarily to GIMP vs Adobe Photoshop, once you get used to the differences, just about anything is possible. Keep in mind though that switching is always harder than just starting out with a piece of software. In other words, it's easier to use Inkskape if you've never started out with Coreldraw in the first place, and vice versa.

    It runs very, very, very fast. Especially on the macOS platform. It also offers highly customizable shortcut settings, and excellent support for pdf and psd. You can copy tables from Excel directly into the software and convert them into graphics for editing.
