My point is: They're at least a decade behind. Demand is shifting quickly. SVG is on the rise, but if Xara doesn't have that on the roadmap, I don't think we're going to see good support until 2017: Judging from outside, a major update of the SVG engine is needed, and that could easily take a year or longer.
The explanation for Xara's priorities is probably the takeover by Magix, a company whose business model is selling boxed products in Media Markt.
