No. Not if you are used to tikz. I usually need much longer time in
inkscape (if I need to use it) to get proper placement and alignment.

It's not trial and error. If you select the proper tikzlibrary, tikz
will automate a lot. And the result would definitely look nicer.

But as I said, everybody should chose the tool that suits them.
