Adobe Illustrator clone that plays well with latex for drawing diagrams in papers.

That's awesome! You could probably put Adobe out of business if you charge 10% their price.

If you did Illustrator in an afternoon it should only take a week or two for the whole product line?

  • No, that's not how it works.

    It implements the (pretty large) subset of the tool I personally need.

    But everyone needs a different subset, and maintaining a coherent codebase that supports everyone's need is difficult.

    What could put Adobe and others out of business is everyone reaching for Claude code, cursor or codex the next time they need complex software tailored to their use case instead of the one size fits all software that is commercially available.
