Ummm, Brett I'm not agree with you...
from the inkscape web page:
Open Source Scalable Vector Graphics Editor ... .... editing. It also imports several formats like EPS, Postscript, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.
I searched around on the Inkscape site -- apparently we need pstoedit, ghostscript (and probably gs-esp, the Ghostscript EPS interpreter) and sketch for EPS import to work. I haven't successfuly gotten it to work yet, even though I have all of these installed.
Maybe it doesn't work anymore or something else is required (surprised this isn't in the README doc that comes with the source code)
Brett, could you suggest some text we should put into the README or other places, so that people won't get confused about this issue?
As mental said, we get a lot of requests regarding EPS, but from the developer side I don't think it gets attention. It's quite possible the documentation is misleading, and anything you can do to help in this area will pay off for other users.
