If you create your own maps digitally, what do you use as map-making software?

Personally, I am fond of Inkscape, as it gives me maximum flexibility and the vector-based approach is great for scaling and rotating things.

I've been eyeing krita for fancy brushwork - GIMP is primarily photomanipulation software, and doesn't really hold a candle when it comes to brushes. Have you tried it out?

Technically yes, I have, but it was so long ago now that my experience is probably too outdated to be useful. I remember it being fine, but I was already familiar with Gimp and wasn't doing enough to justify learning a new program. I am drawing everything with a mouse as well, which probably affects the way that I interact with features quite a bit.

Like I said, though, I expect that my experience is not very reflective of the current state of the program, so I might need to try it again
