I really don't get the fuss about JPG support (or any other format)...
PNG is the correct choice for at least 99% of graphics generated with Inkscape. For the rare use cases were JPG might actually be advantageous (which - even for gradients - is seldom the case thanks to delta filters used in PNG compression) it shouldn't be hard to find software designed for working with raster graphics (and offering the respective export formats).
Regarding how this discussion started: Sometimes it's better to
educate users than to give in to wishes that are the result of a
lack of knowledge... For example I'm constantly teaching my
students *not* to use JPG compression for scientific plots. I'd
love the day where JPG export was cut from all plotting software!

You move the slide and if it's low the preview is ugly, if it goes over a certain amount (using some size guess if exact calculation is too challenging), a "Use PNG instead!" pops out. You both give the functionality and educate on why PNG export from vectorial drawings is better.Guessing the size of the PNG in advance is most likely next to impossible. And given how long a PNG export takes it's not really feasible to do one every time the export dialog is shown just to gather the file size. Tobias
