I still donate to Inkscape each month (please do the same at https://inkscape.org/support-us/donate/), but it became unusable for me on macOS, unfortunately. I now use Serif Affinity.
Inkscape is fantastic on Linux. I’d highly recommend it!
Inkscape works good on Windows too, but its UI… It’s like it was made by monkeys for dinosaurs. I’m not sure that Inkscape devs ever tried to use it themselves.
The UI isn’t the best, but is it really that bad? I’ve used some adobe software as well, and I don’t really find Inkscape’s UI that hard to use in comparison. Whether it’s pretty is another question.
Version 1.3 has introduced a shape builder tool, always nice to have that. Overall, it seems that is has improved quite a bit in the last few years, so that’s good to see
They revamped the entire interface, it’s based on GTK3 and feels honestly very modern. I don’t use it every day so take my feedback with a grain of salt
What issues have you run into on macOS? I use inkscape on my quite new mac very often, and don’t have any issues. The command line tools for inkscape are also pretty good I think, and work without any issues (I get some critical warning’s every now and then though, but nothing has affected output yet).

+1 for Affinity, but am hoping that Inkscape’s UX improves. Would be cool to have mature vector editing on Linux.

Inkscape is my go-to for creating decals for 3D assets.
