Sorry for the delay.

Short answer: I am more interested in animations and scripting.

A vector graphic program of an office suite has to hide
the implementation details. So karbon is able to export svg,
but you can't determine the structure of the svg elements.
Let's say you select a colors for your chart. You don't want
to care about internal details of elements and attributes. On
the other hand, if you write a script to animate your chart
you have to care about these implementation details.

I'm glad you didn't ask: why isn't k2d part of the quanta web
development tool? Or why don't you develop an easy-to-use
animation tool for koffice? Well let's hope it will be possible
to plug the core of k2d into koffice and quanta. Unfortunately
up to now, k2d is a one person part time project. And in my
opinion the next goal is to make it usable for constructing
animations.
