I think it would be majorly cooler to have right click "edit in gimp" and use Verse for realtime updates in inkscape. But since that hasn't caught on, I think we should push for integrating gegl rather than imagemagick. gegl might be able to offer us things like rendering for svg filters and such too.
I'd say edit in Gimp and suck in changes live (Verse or just file system) would be very good. Not trying to make Inkscape "do" bitmap manipulation is good, but so is making the workflow better.
I guess I don't really feel that we're "doing" bitmap manipulation by using the Imagemagick filters. If nothing else, we wouldn't be doing that much of it. One thing that I think is interesting here, is that probably the largest praise that Xara gets is having some bitmap manipulation inside it! (besides the really fast renderer of course)
