Well....I dunno about the "its only meant to edit existing images" part of things. There's a number of people on gimptalk.com that might have an issue with that, but I understand about the limitations of it's path system.

Wouldn't it work better then to use Gimp and just use paths in Gimp for your vector stuff?
Path is a powerful tool but it's not flexible enough compared to vector objects. Once the path has been filled or stroked, you can't modify its shape, it's just a bitmap. Moreover GIMP is not an illustration tool, it's only meant to edit existing images. And using it to illustrate would be a real nightmare, specially screenshots.
An other issue is that GIMP doesn't allow images linking so the screenshots would be duplicated. It doesn't happen with SVG files.
