I find working with vectors extremely convenient, too. but please in a
vector editor component / application.
Hopefully both applications are modules in a component system which allows
for really good interaction.

If you mix vector editor iand image / bitmap editor, the chances are high
that you get a hybrid system which does neither the one nor the other
functionality well.

The last part is the real missing link, I think.
