@Tim Kaye

That was a very illustrative example of why it's so ridiculous and harmful to WordPress, when WordPress fanboys/girls, rudely fire back with absurd comments like "why don't you fix the problem?!"

I've also apparently mistakenly made you think I want to "turn WP into some sort of clone of MS Word." No, no. I also think MS Word is a powerful, but bloated and overly complicated mess.

I'm mainly just pushing back against people who misrepresent that WordPress is a DIY solution to business websites (I'm an advocate for small businesses and entrepreneurs; see my Twitter comments @BizStarzPR). And it seems that Matt Mullenweg's strategy is to make WordPress so dominant, that it will become the MS Word of web applications (and it may be already!).

This would unfortunately provide WordPress with even less pressure to be innovative, or responsive to long known problems like the one you brought up with SVG images. WordPress could become essentially a monopoly like MS Word where you're basically forced to use it, at least if you want to do business with others.

That's why Matt gets so gleeful when discussing WordPress's increasing marketshare, and less gleeful when discussing what's being done to keep up with the competition and address problems like the one with SVG images.
