Not much. Obviously its a bit more advanced and refined, but paths manipulation, for example, is god awful.
You need four (!) tools for manipulating paths and anchorpoints.
When it comes to node editing, Inkscape is superior in every way ! Easier, more intuitive and powerful.
Im not the greatest fan of the Inkscape developers. It seems they lack a real connection with their userbase.
Lots of the tools seem untested by real artists or lack what is really needed.
And it lacks proper support for assets like gradients and patterns.
Everything is still very minimal.
Also you can not paint with Inkscape like you can with AI.
Never the less im confident that Inkscape will improve a lot with the next big release.
