Re: [Inkscape-devel] Announcing InkscapeSVG

Thanks for your comments. It is actually pretty cool what you can do with

SVG. The program was a little experiment in learning how to use javascript inside SVG. As you saw, I got a little carried away with it. I do think one could make an interesting "native" drawing program, perhaps on the level of MacDraw with the addition of SVG filters (when browsers have better support). But you could never compete with Inkscape. Javascript is just too slow and ugly. Opera pretty much chokes on the little code. I wrote.

Have you seen:

I think that is mostly what you're talking about. I find it pretty impressive overall.
