[LAD] [OT] vector drawing software

[Thomas Vecchione]

I'll be honest in that I personally find QCad to be invaluable for 2D
drafting.  I am not sure exactly how you are planning on using the vector
drawing program is part of the problem.  In the past I have also used
Inkscape for web design, and OpenOffice Draw for some things as well.  I,
like others, am curious how QCad and Inkscape fail these basic requirements
for you?
