>I cannot for the life of me figure out bezier curves to create arc sections with proper radii that blends into another line, and abusing adding and subtracting shapes from each other is a cumbersome process and editing the final shape often requires me to start all over creating that composite shape. I had some thoughts of writing some software a bit like that, and would be interested and hearing what would be the feature set for a minimal viable product. I have "Mac vector graphics app fatigue". I can tell this is going to be severely underpowered. The price of Amadine is a turnoff: $20 is simply nowhere near enough to support the depth of features that a vector graphics app needs. I love to hate on Adobe as much as anyone, and it's definitely not a very Mac-like user experience, but when it comes to making graphics, Illustrator is an absolute beast. If you haven't read it, you don't know half of the little usability tricks that they've packed in there.
BEST VECTOR GRAPHICS SOFTWARE FOR MAC MANUAL
Their manual is an inch thick (or, it was 20 years ago) and extremely well-written. No matter how swanky the new CoreImage APIs are, you're not going to catch Illustrator in a year or two.
BEST VECTOR GRAPHICS SOFTWARE FOR MAC MAC
Hell, Affinity Designer is 5 years old and arrowheads are still on their to-do list.Īfter 20 years of futzing around with Mac graphics apps, Illustrator is still the best vector graphics app I've ever used, and the newcomers aren't even more Mac-like (which seems like it'd be a low bar). There's 10 little obvious things it's missing that you assume will get added real soon, but it turns out there's actually 1000 things it's missing, and they keep picking other little things. Being a small company in a huge market, their support suffers. They just aren't terribly Mac-like, and they have all sorts of little bugs that never seem to get fixed. A couple weeks later, I end up regretting my purchase. They all have flashy demos and claim to be great Mac apps (well, except Inkscape). I tried demos for everything else I could get my hands on. I bought iDraw (back before AutoCAD bought Indeeo).
