I quiet like Inkscape but I have a few issues with it and indeed all
the current SVG editors I know of. (I am happy to be pointed at editors
that don't have these issues or indeed just be plain corrected if I'm
wrtong or missing something)
1. Inkscape
1. Not having a straight source editor(the xml editor is great
but being able to muck with the text directly would stop me
having to have the file open in a text editor as well).
2. having images with windows file paths.
3. Not being able to base64 encode and embed images.
2. Features I'd like to see in all editors
1. The choice of which spec to work to. Being able to choose
between SVG 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 and possibly SVGT and only be
offered features that fall within those specs.
2. Choice of target platform or at least target feature
strings. i.e. being able to specify what you expect to work
in the browser and only be offered features that fit that.
3. Possibly even a choice of coding styles i.e. using classes
for all styling or keeping the styling inline with the content.
4. SVG font support.
5. Command line switches / or permenant prefences for things
like clean svg output and the above options.
6. refactorors (AI's ability to change you code to produce the
most effecinet reprentation of your image is great but only
when you want it, the ability to turn this off would be good)
Tar. for reminding me that I hadn't mentioned these to any one (they
came up when a less SVG experienced colleauge ended up bashing his head
against a wall trying to design a prototype in Inkscape pass it to a
designer who used AI and then rasterize it in rsvg. Lots of random tags and
