I love Inkscape. I’ve been using it for 20 years. But it boggles my mind how it’s still so horribly laggy on macOS. At least they got rid of the Xquartz dependency though.

The one new feature in 1.4 that I appreciated the most is the ability to disable anti-aliasing when exporting from the command line:

Before this option appeared in Inkscape nightly builds, I had no way of automating a pipeline to rasterize SVGs into black&white PNGs in a pixel perfect way.

Have they added any method of setting a tool style before drawing, rather than adjusting style after drawing?
