Off-topic question about SVG

Vovchik, you are the SVG guru!
I'm trying to edit the attached tick image. I want to slightly round the sharp corners, but unable to do it in Inkscape.
I'm not very familiar with using Inkscape.

Would it be easier to edit the file in a text editor?
Or, is there some other GUI editor, other than Inkscape, that would make the job easier?

In Inkscape, when select a node, I thought that it should have drag-handles on both sides, so can round the sharp corner, but it isn't working that way.

Any assistance/advice appreciated!

Hey, I have figured it out!
I booted EasyOS Pyro series, which has a much older version of Inkscape, 0.92.2, has a somewhat simpler interface, and I have managed to round those corners.

I think that the latest version of Inkscape has more options, which confused me.

Dear Barry,

I generally do those things by hand - and you can achieve rounding in your example with this:

style="fill:#018f44;stroke:#018f44;stroke-width:10;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-linecap:round"

I hope that helps. I have attached your modded svg.

Dear Barry,

Here's another one with optimization. I like the size (319 bytes)!
