Raphael isn't just SVG; it's a vector library that can use SVG as a backend. It also works on IE back to IE6, using VML.

So if your goal is "SVG" and/or you only need to support modern browsers, then use SVG, it's great. If your goal is "vector graphics" and you need to support every browser made in the past 10 years, use Raphael.
