I think we're best off providing UI to utilize the features we do have from SVG;
And from Sodipodi. It's amazing how much stuff we can render but lack creation tools for. Bitmap fills, patterns, masks, clones (svg:use), multistage gradients... All we need for these is just UI and some bugfixing, and voila. This should be one of the main directions of Inkscape development IMHO.
Do we have these 'GUI todos' listed somewhere? For planning purposes it'd be very handy to have such a list, because often the GUI work can be done with only modest knowledge of the underlying rendering tech, but it is hard to identify how to plug the GUI bits onto the render stuff. At least, this has been my experience with hooking up markers.
Also, for each thing in need of a GUI it would be useful to have a rough design concept identified so we know what widgets are needed.
