Yes. The group that only knows raster editors is not trivially small. Photoshop is general knowledge and gets quipped about in Hollywood movies (e.g. Casino Royale), and Windows includes a simple raster editor. Corel DRAW and Adobe Illustrator are not general knowledge, and the only system that I know that comes with a vector program preinstalled is Ubuntu Studio. I expect more of the new users of Inkscape to be familiar with raster graphics than with either vector graphics or SVG.
Yes... but you're missing a bit of the big picture here.
Most people don't "use Photoshop" nowadays. Instead they "use CS3" or "use CS4". Especially users who pirate software (the more common Windows-centric user base, etc.)
