That's really interesting. Also interesting when you compare
For example - "inkscape,macromedia fireworks". No contest - inkscape over
twice as popular.
Then with "inkscape,coreldraw" and "inkscape,microsoft publisher" we're 
very
close - we could probably win through with an explosive release.
We still have a long way to go with "inkscape,adobe illustrator" or
"inkscape,adobe cs3", but then there's no shame in being outclassed by
Adobe.

Note that "xara" does not always refer to the vector editor, so in
reality it's even better for us.
Now, to support the momentum, we must release a smashing 0.46 soon
enough, and make a lot of noise about it. It really deserves it. (Note
by the way that while we are ahead in user interest, we are nowhere to
be seen on the lower graph which reflects mentions in the news. That's
not fair.)
GSoCers and all others, please let's get to work one more time and fix
all the loose ends in your projects. They need not be perfect but the
most glaring user-visible problems must be ironed out for Inkscape to
reach a releaseable state. You know who you are and what you need to
do :)  If you think that your project is already good enough for a
release, please drop a note here, otherwise let us know of your
current state, what remains to do, and when you are planning to
finalize your work.
And, let's make bugfixing a priority right now, even without waiting
for a freeze. We have a scary number of open bugs in the tracker. Yet
we now have so many developers that if each one closes just one bug a
day, we'll make the tracker shrink pretty fast. Note that closing a
bug need not necessarily involve coding; you can just take some old
bug, test it and close as fixed or unreproduceable. Any help from
non-developers is of course very welcome too. Let's all test, report,
comment, add info, code, test again, and close as many bugs as
possible.
