I use Inkscape almost everyday and it's lovely to use. Adobe Illustrator, you can see why people need much more training, it makes life hard just for simple tasks like gradient editing.

I like the singe panel layout on the right, which has all of the options for gradient editing and such, it's just so much easier to use. Inkscape also uses proper blur, it's slow( you can change the preview quality) but looks very nice in comparison to Vector Feathering.

Illustrator maybe the leading vector application but it's just hard to use, The new version of Illustrator doesn't have easier gradient editing than Inkscape either, even though it's made out to be some super easier way.
