Thanks to Google’s Summer of Code an Open Source project is bringing up the best SVG editor I’ve seen so far – Inkscape. Since I’m not doing very artistic work in SVG I can’t comment those features. We are drawing maps and trying to make them usable online with the help of SVG (c.f. my ArcGIS SVG export macro). It’s a rather technical approach and for that reason I really appreciate the possibility to see the graphics (well, of course the visual work is vital as well) and browse/edit the XML tree at once.
As you can read in their FAQ Inkscape is not supposed to be a replacement for any big commercial vector graphics editor like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia (Adobe) Freehand. But when it comes to SVG Inkscape is playing in the same league along with them.
Keep up the great work!
