The page on inkscape does say that the list of missing features is long; it specifically mentions 3D, typographical effects, OpenType ligatures,
What are they and how they are different from regular ligatures? Anyone has an idea?
gradient meshes, "elaborate transparence effects such as in Photoshop" (what does this mean?),
This means opacity modes (hard light, multiply, etc.). They are in SVG 1.2 and we'll get them for free when we switch to Cairo.
What I found especially funny in this article is that they liked Inkscape's gradient handling - in 0.39! But on the other hand, considering the extremely clumsy and primitive gradient tool in Adobe Illustrator (again, in version 9, don't know about later versions), this is not so surprising...
