Cheatsheet Pages / Adobe Free Alternatives

Free alternative to Illustrator — Inkscape (mature)

A professional vector editor with native SVG, path operations, clones and symbols.

In the cheatsheet, the flask mark means early alpha (it runs, but do not bet production work on it) and the check mark means mature and stable. Every alternative listed is free; the saving is the Adobe subscription you stop paying.

brew install inkscape
