Agreed, GIMP is a horrendous piece of software. I know it is extremely powerful (for example combined with G'MIC) but the fact you can't do the most simple transformations (rescale, move, strech and rotate) on the freehand tool speaks a lot about its usability.

Inkscape on the other hand really is a viable alternative to Illustrator.

Every time I try Inkscape it has been a big disappointment. It doesn't come close to old versions of Freehand, not even speaking of current Illustrator. Even indie devs like http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch/ do a lot better job at illustrating.
