Why? Only people that don't have a clue what SVG is are still trying to say its a pure competitor to Flash which is simply not true. Or would you say the same about XAML (for example)? But you're right that there're a lot of people out there still saying that. > 2. Not understanding that SVG is a data driven graphic platform. Not only data driven, in the same way it could be a pure animated graphic platform or a platform for interactivity. > SVG may not have the wonderful animation capabilities that we have > all come to love dearly in our Flash popups, but it can do some neat > stuff if it is driven by data. Why only with data? I talked to a lot of professional Flash guys and they loved the much simpler yet even powerful interpolated animation system of svg. There's nothing you can do in Flash that you can't do in svg regarding animations. > It's not the grahic WOW that svg is about; its about the graphic > display of data changing in space and time. Indeed it is among other things. Like the new cool vector effects in 1.2 or the standard filters in 1.1 (if working fast enough) which isn't possible in Flash until nowadays (yes in Flash 8 but hey, where is it?). Among the graphical capabilities, I think one of the major "features" of svg 1.2 will be sXBL as its the first time to have a standard for a real component based web system which is the absolute basic requirement for having a real Web-Application platform.
