I wish the Gimp and Inkscape merged in some way.  Most of the commercial
products are not pure vector or bitmap tools anymore, reusing their codes as
much as it's needed, but focusing more on either drawing or editing.  In
particular, brushing strokes in most tools are bitmap brushes applied along
vector paths, so that strokes can be easily edited.

The Gimp is a kickass bitmap editor with many options, filters, palletes, brushs
and whatmore, but lacks a decent drawing tool.  It works ok for drawing only if

Inkscape is wonderful for drawing, but still lacks maturity and easily editable
vector-based strokes.  Both software could benefit imensely from a merge and
unified framework around Cairo.

here, a 1 hour Gimp hack.  Too bad I'm an untalented drawing geek...
