> When drawing a straight line with free hand line tool the clarity of
> the line is very weak. It should not be blurry it should be much
> sharper. A good example of a sharp line with small stroke width would
> be the box that surrounds the text I am typing in this "further
> information" box. It is very small yet the clarity of the red line
> stroke is very sharp and clean. In inkscape it is slightly blurry and
> this is a big disadvantage when creating a website as it is near
> impossible to create smaller details that require sharp line strokes.

> If I were to try to draw a straight line with free hand line tool with
> a .5 stroke and a color of black it would look grey-ish even at 100%
> zoom. In other drawing programs the lines would remain black and
> appear very sharp in nature similar too the "further Information" box
