On the contrary, Raphael is an abstraction on top of SVG and VML (Microsoft's vector format). It's quite useful when you have to support IE.

Still specific to vector graphics rendering.

So not "on the contrary", but "to be exact".

"Well, actually..."
I did a whole diagram editor in Raphael. In the end we had the client installing ChromeFrame because there are still some different behaviors in IE.
