Well, if you're going to put Inkscape up against the likes of Adobe,
OODraw really falls between 'em in my book. OOD has a snap to grid
feature that Inkscape still doesn't, at least in 0.41. It shows an
option for it if you bring up document properties (OOD has an icon
button always visible, along with a menu option), but the program
doesn't seem to respect it, just placing points wherever the cursor is
pointing. I imagine this will get fixed before long, but Inkscape has a
long way to go yet.
