A friendly hello to all!

Being a web developer, I thought I would chime in with a comment on a particular matter:

That doesn't devalue my major criticism: SVGs created with some of the new features cannot be reliably used outside Inkscape. Users can't expect to export them successfully to Illustrator or CorelDraw for a pre-press preparation, and neither can web designers expect to use 0.92 reliably for web graphics, unless they forego all new features.

I use Inkscape solely for all my vector editing and creation, but I rarely use it to export SVG for a website or to other programs. This is because SVG support is still really spotty at best in most browsers and yes, inkscape has some special sauce I think which Illustrator or others might not recognize or import properly - however, simple and easy designs (most of my vectors) are typically all that I want to export for websites in any case, so inkscape exports results more than admirably.

In fact, I would trust Inkscape with SVG creation/editing more than I would other proprietary tools. Just recently I had to modify an SVG that was created in some proprietary Mac tool and there were some issues with rendering the vectors properly. I was able to fix it with Inkscape because I was so familiar with it and it's easy to use (for me) - and the resulting SVG was cleaner and more concise after I had finished modifying it with Inkscape.

(On my wishlist of things I wouldn't mind for inkscape, though, I would probably prefer some sort of "export to webgl canvas" instead of better svg export or somesuch thing like that.)

Regarding the article, I don't speak German so I cannot reasonably give any comments or criticisms :\

I would like to say that more eyes on this software I think can only produce better results. Having people involved, even with criticism, seems like a good thing, to me - I would also applaud that you've linked this list to the article.
