Dev Group:
When I work with SVG, I generate as much of it as I can, then I hand edit. I use a lot of tools while I'm doing this. I was a draftsman ages ago, I'm a spec author, and I'm very fussy. I've written a few graphics viewers and editors and use most of the available ones from time to time. So I'm a pretty educated user, I don't have much patience for tools that seem broken. I find the InkScape UI to be intuitive (for me anyway) and a pleasure to use. I hate reading docs, and I haven't read any of yours yet. I did look at them though, they look great, and the ability to experiment with features right in the help docs is a killer app.
FWIW, I just felt like dropping a line to say that you're doing great work, a huge asset to the SVG community.
