I'd say (although marketing would have to confirm) that the main  
reason we don't currently ship Inkscape is that Sun has its own  
vector drawing app in the shape of StarOffice Draw (which can export  
SVG files, at least-- can't currently open them IIRC), and we  
generally just try to ship and support one app for each job.   
Although don't get me started on Evolution v. Thunderbird :)

I agree that Inkscape is coming along quite nicely, though, although  
it can still be a bit scary if you scratch the surface too hard.

Cheeri,
Calum.
