I'll have to respectfully disagree there.

I have enjoyed some very productive discussions with the Inkscape devels
and observed how they work together - it is a textbook example of FLOSS
development. 

I have a *lot* of respect for what they are doing and the rapid progress
they have made to date. The latest 0.37 is a much smoother, more
polished release than anything to date in OSS svg editing. With some
minor issues, SVG import to/from Scribus <> Inkscape is getting better
by the day.

I have built RH9/Fedora RPMS for the Inkscape 0.37 release, which are on
their download page. Mdk RPMS and debs are also packaged. SuSE rpms soon
to come.
