A bit, but we used blender before, so we already knew the ins and outs of it's interface, and we're using Macs and I don't like running apps in X. It's kinda sad that there's still no production native Inkscape. I know that people were working on that years ago, but somehow it never went anywhere (or I'm not smart enough to find it).
Is Inkscape also easily extendable?
Agreed, Inkscape UX on Mac is really bad. The Windows version is much better in comparison. In my opinion, FWIW, a custom UI toolkit like Blender uses gives a much better UX cross platform and presumably a lot less maintenance too.
Yeah, or even Qt, since their UI toolkit is also highly optimized for all kinds of plattforms. The advantage of the blender approach, of course, is that the app feels the same on every platform, since it is not bound to platform-specific UI requirements. So it doesn't end up in an uncanny valley, where it is kinda like the native UI, but not quite like it.
Don’t forget that Blender’s UI toolkit is extremely well designed. Consistent user experience doesn’t matter when that experience is consistently poor.
