Just a friendly reminder example for all those people who only ever heard of GIMP and not wanting to let go of their Adobe products because they don't like GIMP. Krita deserves more wide spread attention. https://krita.org/en/features/

And/or Scribus. It can also import .ai files, sometimes even to something recognizable.

Sorry, but NO. Scribus is a page layout app. It is not intended for image creation/manipulation. That is truly using a shoe for hammer, or a hammer for a screwdriver or a screwdriver for a butter knife.

You can use Word for page layout or image manipulation too. Again, screwdriver for a butter knife. Right tool for the job and all.

You're right. I think I was confusing it with InDesign.

Illustrator was once more like FontForge + Inkscape. I haven't used any recent versions though.
