    I tried Inkscape but was ultimately disappointed at the SVG it produced, and went for writing mine in a simple xml editor.

    I've found Expression Graphic Designer to be pretty awesome, though it doesn't produce SVG so its usefulness stops after making exportable graphics and stuff to stick in XAML.

  3. What is the motivation behind this? by BadassJesus · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why are you ppl doing this for free? Do you have so much time in your lives to do things of this magnitude for free? Website and net traffic have to be paid, so are you really burning your time and money over this? One should assume you are some russian hackers doing this to lure ppl to download your "free" software and then exploit that people and compromise data and identities. I really can't see any positives in doing all this. They may claim whatever they want, but I will NEVER trust them. Predatory pricing, undermining legit businesses and no resposibility. There should be a law to prevent all this from happening.

      The exploits are already there waiting for a larger audience. Hell, anyone can make a website then binaries and do some bass fishing (with AdSense all over of course). Brainless coping of well known app. Joining this would be like joining evil empire. Expect low pay life of slavery and abuse. They are transformed losers from the day one, remember that.
