Where are you guys getting this idea that they are ignoring SVG? I haven't gotten that impression at all. How can you compare SVG and a raster like JPG? They are used for completely different things... How are you going to make a truecolor hi-res photo using vector graphics that is less than 100MB? Even 1MB would be too big and far too much for the client to process! SVG could possibly be preferred to PNG, but not JPG... If people still use PDF now, when technically HTML can do everything that PDF does, why would SVG replace it in the future? How are you going to embed video in SVG if all browsers don't support the foreignObject tag?
SVG is going to get popular and will be used often in the future, but it's not going to replace any other technology, rather, it will be used in addition to those technologies.
