awesome application, but inkscape is now equally powerful imho.

next LTS -- I am "upgrade challenged" :D

I like them too for the reason they are symbolic and scale well, but they are 
kinda creepy.

Yeah, it's a problem. I'm constantly amazed at how hard it is to 
design 'icons'.

Well, if I get some more time I'll keep trying.
