I've just bought a Surface Pro tablet. Does Inkscape interface work well in a tablet or with a pen?

It can be a bit fussy, but works well --- unfortunately, there hasn't really been a vector drawing program focused specifically on stylus use since Futurewave Smartsketch (which became Flash by way of Futuresplash Animator).

As noted elsethread:

Wick Editor implements some aspects of the vector drawing from Flash: https://www.wickeditor.com/#/

If you're willing to consider a commercial option, Serif's Affinity Designer may suit.

Some operations are best with keyboard (i.e. moving, zooming, panning, duplicating, acessing panels) and you need modifier keys quite often. You can map one or two to the stylus buttons, but that may not be sufficient
