Another focus of Xara is on bitmap manipulation. They have a built-in Picture Editor, something like a primitive Photoshop. I think it's safe to bet Inkscape will never have such a thing - why do it if we can just call Gimp instead.
Well, depends what you mean by "have such a thing": calling gimp code would count as having such a thing; though currently we don't do that at all to my knowledge, and we certainly don't currently make it easy to edit embedded bitmaps, or have gimp layers implemented as separate <image/>s, or allow other vector objects to be visible when editing a bitmap.
