Question pour une personne de 12 ans qui veut faire de l'animation. Vous préférez #synfig ou #pencil2d ? L'existance de doc ou tuto franǒphones est un plus

#animation people, what's the simplest free/open-source alternative for Adobe Animate / formerly Flash? I literally only intend to animate simple vector graphics (logos, icons).

I'm aware of a few different options like Synfig, Pencil2D, Opentoonz, but I have zero time to test-drive them.
If it's at least somewhat similar to Flash that would be great, I've been using it on and off since Macromedia days.

TIA

I use all three as well as Blender, Synfig Studio and Beeref (for displaying reference images).

Been trying 2d svg/vector animation on Linux recently. Have tried Synfig and Friction. Weird pros and cons. Friction (crap name, try searching with a name like that...) is winning out in the ease of use from Inkscape dept. Synfig feels more complete, but... it's deeply weird. Like you can't do obvious stuff weird. Like vim is text weird for me.

Anyway. So far so amazing! Linux graphics is a lot of fun.

Screenshot from Friction.graphics (version 1.0) running on my Ubuntu Linux PC. It shows two scenes, left and right, with various vector bits and bobs that I am using to assemble some characters for animating.
