Agreed, a lightweight vector graphics format would certainly be welcome. However, the stuff SVG is capable of doing is not trivial but mostly just poorly understood. I think the article below is a good read and I sometimes wonder if some of the (unconscious) negative perception around SVG is because of the slowness of its adoption: http://blog.siliconpublishing.com/2015/12/the-fall-and-rise-of-svg/ http://blog.siliconpublishing.com/2015/12/the-fall-and-rise-... Having said that, I personally find efforts to make SVG better understood (articles, books, tutorials etc) somewhat lacking, although that might just be a personal opinion.
