Why is SVG struggling??? Hope it doesn't Die...

SVG is an open standard for describing 2 dimensional graphics, both static and interactive. As it is derived from XML, it inherits all the advanced features of XML... <- My personal opinion, but believe so...

The birth of SVG goes way back in the 80's... quite old, aint it?

However, despite the long history of this advanced technology, why is SVG having so much trouble gaining attention and popularity...
If you see some examples of SVG, you'll know what I'm talking about...

I personally thought SVG would rule the web about now since I first heard about it...
Well, the standard is still under revision, and there is no SVG viewer that supports all the features it provides...
I guess that is one of the main reasons why SVG is struggling to gain popularity...
No sufficient viewer...
While Flash was flourishing on the Web SVG committee was sitting on their back doing nothing...
"NOTHING" meaning nothing about providing a fully featured viewer...

Why???

I heard that Adobe, one of the most dominant SVG viewer supplier has decided to quit further development of their SVG viewer...
And of course the current one does not fully support all the features in SVG...

I am very disappointed with what is happening to SVG...
SVG might disappear soon... Gone~
The greatest loss of losing this technology is the loss of an open standard...
Especially, an open standard that could be easily merged with HTML and XML...

SVG has to live...
