Migrating from Macromedia Freehand to Inkscape

[Lumdingo]

I've been working in Macromedia Freehand since 1993 or so. I am very comfortable with it and use it as the basis for my career as a profdessional illustrator. But as you all know, Adobe bought Macromedia and have discontinued Freehand. I've got thousands of drawings I've done in Frehand and I can easily move to Illustrator and use it (since it opens Freehand files). BUT, I really REALLY don't like Illustrator (It's not intuitive, user friendly and I especially dislike the purchase price!).

So, I'm hoping Inkscape can develop the ability to open .fh11 files. I can't really afford to go through all my Freehand files and export them in a format that Inscape can read. That would take weeks. It would be easier just to move to Illustrator.. but as you can tell, I'm loath to do so.

I'm really liking Inkscape so far. Great program. Easy to use and nicely laid out.
