Re: [Inkscape-devel] listed before sodipodi
I'm a bit confused at Jimmac's comment, that, "I'm hoping to write a simple functional spec for path editing, since at least Inkscape developers seem to be interested in making their app be a graphic tool, not an SVG editor aiming to implement all of the standard."
My guess is that he is aware of our attempts to make Inkscape usable - that is reflected in the "making their app a graphic tool" part, because a graphic tool is what he's interested in too. But he's probably not too interested in SVG as such, and perhaps when he tried Sodipodi and found it unusable, he ascribed that to its intention to focus on SVG too much, instead of the real reason (the neglect of usability by the Sodipodi author).

Yeah, I've been in communication with JIMMAC and he is aware of Inkscape's upgrades, but still holds to Illi'strator...
I even asked him for feedback on what he thinks we need for him to use it...no reply yet...
Honestly, the main thing illustrator has at this point is much better type, better import/export, text in shape and layers. We have those...we are hyper-golden! Did anyone contact osnews to fix to inkscape...i will...

Heh. How can we beat the inventors of Postscript, and the ones who brought DTP to the masses? It would be like having an Ambrosia-recipe competition with the Olympian gods. :)
Honestly, though; as long as Inkscape adheres to creating spec-compliant and clean SVG, I will continue to contribute and use it. If it were just another drawing program, I would have no interest in it at all.
In the simulation project in which I am working, I am being allowed to make design decisions. My plan is to draw the artwork for the simulation in Inkscape, then load it into Batik and manipulate it there. This will be very cool, I expect.
