Well, yeah, but why would I write a new interface, when Synfig is already there and, to some extent, comparable to Flash?

Synfig focuses on more cartoon based vector animation. What GEGL provides good foundations for doing is video editing/compositing with keyframed properties for filters.

As mentioned in the linked article of this story - having an eco system of applications using GEGL would benefit both these applications and GIMP - since they would be sharing image processing operations and plugins.

Well, I AM doing cartoon animation. Although video editing/compositing is always handy. Do you know if sombody's created a UI for this stuff yet?
