It looks like he did his best to present most actual and precise information, but unfortunately in some areas he failed (e.g. he stated that Inkscape's developers are already working on support for CMYK and CIE LAB colorspaces :)).
Actually... he did give you correct information.
:-)
I've even verified our initial support approach with littleCMS's maintainer to be sure we're on the right track.
Also... we've coordintated a bit with the Scribus guys on how we'll go about getting things across properly for a managed workflow between the apps.
However, Inkscape is rated as best vector graphics editor for Linux that, in case of merging codebase with Xara, will have all chances to be the best free vector graphics editor on all platforms.
Perhaps...
But the main thing we got from interactions at LGM is that both Xara and Inkscape have their own space they each occupy, and that for many users both are needed to be around for some time to come.
The good news, though, is that there are no initial barriers between the two, and if anyone chooses to develop for one of the projects, they are welcome to develop for the other also. Not like some theoretical case of 'competition' where if someone works on project Foo, their contributions are conversations are not welcome in project Bar.
