Do not update to macOS Ventura if you rely on Inkscape! There is an unresolved issue that currently affects all GTK3 based apps on macOS Ventura, making the app unresponsive to certain mouse events."
I found pinch zoom to be rather bonky on my current Monterey, so I hope they fixed that. I'll wait until they get GTK3 fixed. I used brew to install 1.2.1.
No need to be sorry–I believe you're generally correct above. It's just that this particular moment in time is a bad one for Ventura users testing the waters.
I looked back at an old diary - I was using it in Linux because my office had a Linux desktop. I never bothered installing it on my laptop because I tried to keep anything from work off my personal devices.
(Both it and GIMP should make macOS native clients like how the KeePass ppl did KeePassXC)
