1.2 History of KIllustrator

From the official KIllustrator home page:

" I have started this project because I am tired of switching to Windows in order to design illustrations for papers or slides with a modern drawing tool.
Now, for the Linux operating system and of course for other Unixes the Qt toolkit and the KDE project provide a perfect foundation for this kind of application. "
