Inkscape

I would 100% recommend Inkscape to anyone starting out with graphic design or illustration, as it isn't that difficult to get the hang of on the first day of using it. I am not recommending Inkscape for beginners alone, even experts in the field can use Inkscape professionally as it cuts of the expense of needing to buy a paid graphic design software which provides almost the same features. Inkscape is also great for beginners because it can be treated like a stepping stone to move onto a paid graphic designing software like Adobe Illustrator, so Inkscape can be used to test the waters before making the leap. Inkscape and Illustrator are almost the same so there wont be any difficulty in switching later on.

• Background removal is a bit time consuming
• Finetuning the color grading of an image
• It takes some time to find the right image filter, perhaps an example per filer would help you choose the appropriate one.

It is very good in general, but there are steps that I wish could be eliminated as they seem to be "duplicative".

Inkscape is the standard if you want a free product that can produce high quality vector based graphics, there may be other products that can do it better but they are very very expensive. The experience you will get from expensive commercial products will be better but if you are needing to produce vector graphics now and again, or the cost of a product to use is a big factor - Inkscape is the best choice.
