With my original draft for SnD, each 6-panel comic took about 12 hours, and they didn't look a tenth as good as my four-hour inkscape versions.

If you don't want to use inkscape, find another SVG program. Use photoshop. Find Fireworks. Just don't use microsoft's thrown-together-in-15-minutes basic program. I will bet you $5 that if inkscape stops crashing on your computer and you learn how to use it, your first comic will be better than your best paint comic, even with all of your 'experience', and it will be done faster.
#1: It crashes all by itself. It has nothing to do with blurring.
#2: I'm not planning on saving every 5 seconds just because some people are telling me to use a program that I don't even want.
#3: I've seen what Inkscape can do. I've downloaded it. I don't want to use it. Is that too hard to understand? I am 10 times better at Paint than I am at Inkscape, or Fireworks, or whatever.
#4:Ah, yes! Great idea! I'll go down to my invisible money stash in Fairyland so I can buy a program when I'm perfectly happy with what I already have!
Look, I'm happy with Paint. Quit bugging me about these so-called 'better' programs that you have which, by the way, crash on my PC.
