Curious. I recall reading that a few people have upgraded to X8, and found it worthwhile. I don't, however, remember the benefits they offered!
If you've upgraded to X8, why did you do it, and what new features are useful to you?
What useful features does X8 offer vs X7?

Probably not a great deal really, the smooth tool is good but was included in X7 as well.

The knife tool seems to work better than it did in X7.

Re: What useful features does X8 offer vs X7?
I upgraded from 6 to 8 and should have saved my $ until at least X9. I generally update every second issue but am not impressed w/ X8 that much and the handling of nodes just pisses me off. But then I am old and senile.

Re: What useful features does X8 offer vs X7?
Actually they had to pry X4 out of my clammy fingers to go to 6X. The tools we plasma guys use have not changed a lot since release 12 put in object snap . They have improved SOME Of the import filters and broken a couple others. I don't know if its changed but Inkscape can open CDR files up to X4 format which makes it nice to work in SVG format. I find X6 to be pretty good but I don't like what I see in X7. Not every release is worth the fee.
