The reviewer felt the speed and ease of picking it up gave Xara an edge, unless you're a professional graphics guy.
What about the community aspect of the projects? Did you all see the article about how Xara dev. has dropped off and people are not happy that they aren't committing patches or aren't that helpful to possible community members?

Yes, this is a hidden strength of Inkscape. It's also amazing how deeply we've penetrated the Open Source community. Being 100% open source down to the renderer has helped us here, as has our goal of working closely with other community projects.
But this presents a question worth discussing:
"What should Inkscape's next set of goals and objectives be?"

More thoughts?
2geom integration. It seems to me that 2geom will open a lot of doors for potential new features and editing abilities (not to mention bug fixes for things that currently aren't optimal such as the boolean ops). I personally think this should be be added to the roadmap at this point as well as a discussion on how to go about achieving this.
With this refactoring/integration, it's also a good time for us to really reorganize code and do some janitorial work. It also presents an optimal time to look into what will be necessary for cairofication.
