Will it help Inkscape?

Could Inkscape advocate Adobe to let Fireworks live to help SVG grow?

I fail to see how keeping Fireworks around would help SVG. Does Fireworks even support SVG? Isn't it using layered PNG as native format?

Both Expression Design and Fireworks are now out of the way, so Inkscape could get a lot more traction.

Inkscape's QT-based(?) UI looks like a hot mess and feels just as bad on OS X.

It's probably fine for Windows, though.

Inkscape interface does most everything I need, except I miss Photoshop's 'Layer Effects' workflow, which makes designing and organizing filters less messy.

I use Linux.
