Have you checked out Affinity Designer? I'm a near 20+ year user of Illustrator and I find Inkscape 'a bit' of a mess, but Affinity's offering, whilst paid for (but cheap), is much more honed. I can't wait 'til I can transition over to it 100% and unshackle myself from Adobe (just not quite there yet, sadly).

+1 for Affinity Designer. I actually prefer it to Illustrator because it can do both vector and raster (they call it Designer and Pixel Personas). At $55 one-time price it's very reasonable.

It's a bit like Macromedia Fireworks in that respect, if anybody else remembers that one

From what I understand, they had experienced Illustrator users in mind when designing the interface. Same with Photoshop and Affinity Photo. It seems to have paid off.
