No, that's what he said. I was a bit thrown by that since it's the EXACT opposite of the situation. Sodipodi, iirc from talking with Lauris, is really a general purpose drawing tool with an SVG base in mind. Inkscape seems to be one of the few tools trying to implement the SVG spec as an editor.
Well, admittedly regardless of our stated goals most of our work is on general-purpose drawing features, not SVG/XML features. Actions speak louder than words.
But that's okay. They need not be mutually exclusive.
Agreed. Looking back on our development since the project inception, it's apparent we've been maintaining a balance between general purpose drawing features (booleans, usability, etc.), and ones that implement specific SVG features (ala 'use', 'markers', etc.) I've noticed that the developers of these features have taken pains to ensure that the implementations both serve the needs of being SVG-compliant and actually being useful drawing features.
There should already be bugs/RFEs for both. The coordinate system fix is probably major enough that we need to find space on the roadmap for it.
If you can send me a list of SVG-compliance items like this that need to be planned into the roadmap, I'll take care of fitting everything in.
