Telling people jpeg is wrong, by it's self will do little good. Showing them, and letting them make the call will always be more compelling, I think. :)
Sure. Quoted.

I think we could provide most common formats and still educate people about which to use. Inkscape could, for example smartly suggest the format that produces the best results/size for the current output. We could do something like suggest .png when the resulting png file would use less space, and be higher quality export. This is more eco-friendly too, and adds real value to the decision.
This would be great and effective. I don't know how much effort this can take but it would probably be worth it and add value to the program. I'd suggest PNG also if it's slightly bigger than the minimum, say +10/20%, because such a penalty in size probably doesn't justify the penalty in quality, at least in the context of starting from a vectorial drawing (and because I prefer PNG :) ).
But I stick with the "Do not show again." checkbox for those that already know and don't want to be bothered at every export. Or maybe: a "Compare raster formats" button in the export dialog that does the calculations only on demand as for big files it could take a lot of time generating all outputs to get their sizes. And what about a small prewiew box showing the conversion result of a fixed size portion of the final drawing (a live preview with panning)?
