[[OpenDraw]] currently has more features than [[Inkscape]]:<br />
<br />
* Better support for 3D.<br />
* Better import/export capability. <br />
* "Convert to", convert objects to and from Paths and other object can be very useful (please rephrase this)<br />
* Export to Portable Document Format (PDF)<br />
* Integration with the rest of a Suite has the advantage of getting [[OpenDraw]] in the door as well as providing other side benefits. <br />
* Very intuitive editing of grouped objects (without ungrouping them). Double-clicking the group blurs the other objects, allowing in-group editing. <br />
* (Please add to this list, I gather there are many others.)<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, there are some areas where it's better to use Inkscape:<br />
<br />
* [http://graphics.openoffice.org/svg/svg.htm SVG support] (Openoffice has some support for exporting SVG). <br />
* Spirals, stars & calligraphy pen are fairly unique to [[Inkscape]] and [[SodiPodi]] ([[JascWebDraw]] also has includes spirals).<br />
* Apparently [[OpenDraw]] can't fill curves with a gradient or pattern.<br />
* [[OpenDraw]] doesn't have mid-markers, only end markers (arrow heads).<br />
* "Simplify curve" missing from [[OpenDraw]] (unique to Inkscape?)<br />
* [[OpenDraw]] has only 3 boolean operations.<br />
* Inkscape does better at text-on-path. It seems that [[OpenDraw]] requires converting text to curve first, so one can't edit the text after putting it on a curve.<br />
* Inset/outset (unique to inkscape? Not unique [[MacromediaFreehand]] does it better)<br />
* Patterns in Inkscape (SVG) aren't restricted to bitmaps.<br />

OpenDraw remains more featureful than Inkscape:<br />
<br />
* Better support for 3D.<br />

<br />
Nevertheless, there are some areas where it's better to use Inkscape:<br />
<br />
* SVG support<br />
* OpenDraw's rounded rectangles have pre-defined curvature, there doesn't seem to be a way of editing the radius or squashedness of the curve as in inkscape.<br />
* Spirals, stars & calligraphy pen are fairly unique to Inkscape &amp; Sodipodi.<br />
* Apparently OpenDraw can't fill curves with a gradient or pattern.<br />
* OpenDraw doesn't have mid-markers, only end markers (arrow heads).<br />
