I didn't say Dia wasn't good, it is a good and useful tool and I was in 
no way trying to detract from that.  But (I haven't used it for a couple 
of months) even until recently it had noticable bugs.  Frequently the 
aliasing on shapes would all become opaque until the screen was forcibly 
redrawn, and other such minor yet annoying bugs.

My 'thought' was in the spirit of pooling efforts and sharing resources, 
half of what Dia requires (the canvas and shape control) is there in 
Inkscape, which has a bigger team working on it.  Right?
