Hello.
I am following The GIMP development,and would like to correct some 
misleadings here. 
Actually, the vector support being added to the GIMP is not that much. 
It could not be called a "vector app" at all.

What is included is vastly better support to the paths already in 
existence - mainly to the interface, and the ability to export them 
to, and import them from, SVG files.

SO, although it is possible to make a vector drawing in the GIMP by 
sketching each object wanted with a solid color, selecting by color, 
and converting selection to path, it is a  clunky way to do so.
