But it is now end of life. The people behind it went on to Snap.svg[1]. Raphaël was great for VML fallback but now that is no longer needed. It is interesting to see just how many people Adobe has hired that worked on SVG (and projects around it like Raphaël). When I was at Teespring, we used Raphaël and some plugins in the web-based design editor before we wrote our own equivalent (without VML support).<p>The huge pain point in SVG is fonts. Native SVG fonts died. Trying to do exact pixel-perfect layout in SVG for text is now very difficult. See trying to measure the width of a string in a given font.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;snapsvg.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;snapsvg.io&#x2F;</a>
