What Hacker News says
5 sources* Arc from 3 points: There is a Live Path Effect for that.
* tangent/normal to a curve: there is an experimental Live Path Effect for tangent (You can get the normal by just rotating the tangent 90 degrees)
* Measure length: Many ways to get that: e.g. the measure tool. or you can use the Measure segments Live Path Effect.
* Measuring the area: There is an extension: Extensions > Visualize Path > Measure Path.
* Measuring angles: again, you can use the measure tool.
* Library of elements: Inkscape has symbols Objects > Symbols. You can also add you own symbols. See also https://github.com/PanderMusubi/inkscape-open-symbols
* Inkscape snapping is way better (See the new smart alignement snapping in version 1.2).
* Inkscape also prints instructions on how to use tools on the status bar
In Xfig> Another nice feature would have been to have an integrated library of shapes, to use in your own diagrams.
Inkscape has Symbol libraries. (from the menu : Object > symbols).
You can create you own library.
