Not really. You've got a bit of a straw-man argument set up there, and phrasing a question in that manner won't really gain us useful information.
What straw-man? You say that Inkscape should be an SVG editor at the expense of average Joe usability. I say that Inkscape should be average-Joe-useful at the expense of rather abstract "SVG purity" (abstract, because embedded images are 100% SVG compliant). I don't see where's the misrepresentation. Do you claim that links are more intuitive for the casual user? The question was very simple. If you decline to answer it then I have reason to believe the answer is not favorable to you.
Ah, but that is *EXACTLY* the straw-man I was talking about.
I never said "at the expense of average Joe usability". You tried to put those words in my mouth so that you could knock them down. That is the classic straw-man argument.
Since you are arguing against something *different* than what I'm actually saying, the argument you make is invalid.
