Comment 11 for bug 170049

Apart from general weird OS related bugs, Inkscape is a well-rounded app with a lot of neat features. Great work guys!

I also find this Y axis extremely annoying, because every other co-ordinate system I work with uses Y=0 as top left. It does seem like there are no "good" reasons to keep the Cartesian system, so change it. And as a new-user of Inkscape, I have to say... "I will move to the next freeware SVG creator instantly when I find one with a standard Y axis."

I understand that recoding any deep feature of an app can be a confusing and time-consuming process, but it can make or break the software.
