I once got in a huge argument about the superiority of vector graphics displays around 2010. The idea that LCD could match what Tempest had was silly to me, but the kid I was arguing with had never seen a Tempest cabinet and just assumed old meant bad...

Vector vs. raster isn’t about superiority. Each technology can do unique things that aren’t matched by the other.

The dichotomy hasn’t gone away, though. Vector plotters may still be running in certain print shops or scientific settings.

PostScript, PCL, TrueType fonts incorporate vector technology. SVG is a very popular graphics file format for both writing and reading. I know several artists who specialize in SVG and contribute them to Wikimedia Commons.
