not exactly a good comparison.
Why not?
because it was comparing software on a well established platform that
redefined the industry with what was available on a failed platform.
illustrator, on both mac and windows, has been and still is the
standard to which others are compared.
Do you not understand I'm comparing my use of Illustrator on a Mac IIci
in the 1990s to my use of Inkscape (and other runs on Unix/Linux)
software now?
that doesn't change anything.
photoshop in the 1990s had features that the gimp still does not have,
and according to the gimp's roadmap, never will.
inkscape is still playing catch-up.
illustrator, photoshop and other adobe products set the standard to
which others are compared.
