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.
There are a few very important but neglected SVG things I'd like to nail down in the next couple releases, though. One of them is a proper UI for using viewBox. The coordinate system also really, really needs to be fixed.
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.
