The text tool does use parasites but that is about the only similarity with GFig. > Such an approach could give GIMP full-powered SVG-vector-editing > capabilities without requiring any major changes in the GIMP core. GIMP wouldn't get any vector-editing capabilities from that. It would just be an akward way of having two apps work together without really talking to each other. There is no synchronization whatsoever. This holds true for GFig as well and that is why I think the GFig hack is terrible and I would like to phase it out during the next development cycle.
