I would also prefer if the functionality of using external editors would improve. For example on linux use inotify to get changes of linked images and reload them.
This sounds interesting - can you explain in more detail how we could use inotify in this manner?
If it would be possible to embed the gimp into inkscape it would be a really cool thing :) Or the other way around: have an svg as an layer within an gimp file.
One way to achieve this cleanly could be to have Inkscape incorporate GeGL (a library for raster stuff), and Gimp to incorporate Cairo (a library for vector stuff).
Having Inkscape depend directly on Gimp, or vice versa, could make for some messy dependencies. However, having them depend on common libraries is a safe, tried and true strategy.
