Yes, EPS is actually a good candidate for the role of vector interchange format, but PDF has a big advantage: it can be multipage (and multipage documents are on the list of Inkscape future features). Also, EPS and PDF are actually postscript formats, so basically they're moreless the same...

Not really. PDF is much simpler to parse - unlike PDF it's not a "language" which is a big plus. And in recent versions, PDF got a lot of things that will never be added to PS, such as true vector transparency and even gradient meshes. So it's really a good time to leave PS/EPS behind.
