For simple projects println is a fine solution, the learning curve is tiny, but the drawback is that there is nothing checking what you are doing. By using the SVGGraphics2D when you draw a rect it makes sure you provide the proper parameters, in other words it gives you a strongly typed interface (DOM BTW is little better than println, because everything is still strings, except that the final XML is machine generated so silly things like missing quotes, or not using XML entities won't happen). The only other advantage of using DOM (or potentially graphics2D) is that with Batik you can have access to the SVG DOM so you can get things like the bounding box of elements. This isn't a big deal for simple things like lines & boxes, but is _really_ nice for things like text.
