It's fantastic! Just wish it could be used with open source editors like Inkscape or Krita, instead of AI.

We would love that. The problem is that only Illustrator leaves text as text and images as images — all the others except Inkscape convert text and images into data that's no longer searchable.

With Inkscape, the issue is that AFAIK it's not fully scriptable, making it complicated to use with Svija, and there is not a big user base (I've tried unsuccessfully to get real numbers, so I'm judging by participation in SVG forums, things like that).
