Looking to turn my kid loose with some vector graphics software. Hardware is an older MacBook.

Specific recommendations? Inkscape, Affinity Designer, other?

@inthehands Inkscape was alright, haven't tried Affinity Designer but have been very happy with Affinity Photo

@inthehands Oh, and: The vector graphics built into Affinity Photo are pretty similar to those that were found on Adobe products so I assume the Designer ones are similar as well. Generally they're pretty low computation to run. Inkscape is a bit different, and was clunky in some ways, but if the child doesn't have any Adobe jank in their muscle memory yet, it's alright.
