short term it's bad for scaring some people away, as they see SVG as the ASV format, a bit longer term it's good to change exactly that inaccurate understanding with great developments happening like for example the Opera SVG implementation

The Adobe SVG Viewer will not be discontinued after all, Adobe decided to stop its development but not prevent people from downloading it.

... SVG just gets used. no fuss. Where before there was not too much news on SVG, it's now quite a job to keep up. Where before SVG was spelled out and explained, now often it's just the acronym mentioned. It's pretty mainstream with coders nowadays, others start following. Check my svg.org diary, it has some good thoughts on the matter. And browse yourself crazy starting from http://svg.startpagina.nl to get an idea of what's all out there. Cooperation of coders and clickers is not optimal, but expect change on that too. Enjoy checking out all the links.

SVG is brilliant, I think its awful that the huge companies are pushing their own products. But the thats what it comes down too, the good old boys club, patting each others back sometimes. I think as long as there is a community support for SVG it will survive. Thank you, Drew

It´s a shame that Adobe stopped the development, but maybe it is getting open source software...

I agree with your comment "I cannot understand why anyone would use Flash instead" if you are running an application "in house" where you can control which browser is being used, or at least be sure that the proper downloads have be done so that the graphic can be seen properly. Flash has the major advantage of being well enough known that most people have browsers that will render the graphics properly. Which is too bad, there are many applications where SVG would do a far superior job to Flash. Top Website Tips | Sacramento Used Cars
