    I had (have) a copy of Photoshop 2.0 for Mac. Came with one of the
    scanners I bought when I had a IIci. My recollection is layers came
    with 2.5. I also have an old Illustrator, maybe 5, I can't recall now.

    I haven't run it in years, which probably helps keep it as my favorite
    vector graphics editor.

    Inkscape is so frustrating sometimes

    2.5 added windows support.

    3.0 added layers.

    I also have an old Illustrator, maybe 5, I can't recall now.

    no reason why it wouldn't be a favourite.

    There's a story about a guy who worked at Apple who kept hearing Steve
    Jobs say how much better something worked on Next, so the guy brought in
    his Next Cube and would show Jobs how it worked. Memories distort
    reality.

    not exactly a good comparison.

    illustrator, on both mac and windows, has been and still is the
    standard to which others are compared.

    Why not?

    illustrator, on both mac and windows, has been and still is the
    standard to which others are compared.

    Do you not understand I'm comparing my use of Illustrator on a Mac IIci
    in the 1990s to my use of Inkscape (and other runs on Unix/Linux)
    software now?

    would consider buying a copy of Illustrator if it were sold for modern Linux

    Why not?

    because it was comparing software on a well established platform that
    redefined the industry with what was available on a failed platform.

    illustrator, on both mac and windows, has been and still is the
    standard to which others are compared.

    Do you not understand I'm comparing my use of Illustrator on a Mac IIci
    in the 1990s to my use of Inkscape (and other runs on Unix/Linux)
    software now?

    that doesn't change anything.

    photoshop in the 1990s had features that the gimp still does not have,
    and according to the gimp's roadmap, never will.

    inkscape is still playing catch-up.

    illustrator, photoshop and other adobe products set the standard to
    which others are compared.
