Why are 50% of the words in this article, covering 20 years of work, about making svgs of icons?

Terrible.

Haven't watched it yet, but DMD has a number of vids covering this, from plugin compatibility to features. Here's the RC1 vid: https://youtu.be/nLjlgHemaco

Seems like they're still playing catch-up. Photoshop is the only Adobe software I haven't cut out of my life. But it seems I will still be stuck with it for some time.

Krita is quite far ahead of GIMP at this point. I'm not a pro Photoshop user but if you are and you're looking at alternatives, that's the place to look.
