I still donate to Inkscape each month (please do the same at https://inkscape.org/support-us/donate/), but it became unusable for me on macOS, unfortunately. I now use Serif Affinity.
Inkscape is fantastic on Linux. I’d highly recommend it!
The UI isn’t the best, but is it really that bad? I’ve used some adobe software as well, and I don’t really find Inkscape’s UI that hard to use in comparison. Whether it’s pretty is another question.
I agree that it’s bad for editing anything more than a page, didn’t think of that as I only really use it to make figures, which I think it’s pretty great for.
Idk about you but I thought this was the case as well, since the last time I used Inkscape was probably like 6 years ago, and at the time, the UI was super dated looking (don’t get me wrong, it was still functional).
The different is night and day now, I honestly couldn’t tell that it was the same software. UI looks super clean and modern.
Version 1.3 has introduced a shape builder tool, always nice to have that. Overall, it seems that is has improved quite a bit in the last few years, so that’s good to see
They revamped the entire interface, it’s based on GTK3 and feels honestly very modern. I don’t use it every day so take my feedback with a grain of salt
What issues have you run into on macOS? I use inkscape on my quite new mac very often, and don’t have any issues. The command line tools for inkscape are also pretty good I think, and work without any issues (I get some critical warning’s every now and then though, but nothing has affected output yet).

Inkscape is my go-to for creating decals for 3D assets.
