Even if most web devs won’t directly write SVG markup, SVG is at the core of so many of our interactions on the Web. Logos, charts, icons, illustrations, it’s literally everywhere.
Ironically, browser efforts to kill it prove how crucial it is to web developers: at this point, it has been 15+ years that browsers have refused to improve SVG implementations, and SVG is used more widely than ever. What other Web technology could survive such neglect?
