Karbon 14 Draw is the vector drawing application in KDE and part of the KOffice Suite.
Being part of a suite is a big advantage and allows Karbon to get a foot in the door as it will be included simply because people are interested by some other application in the suite. Other parts of KOffice such as KChart and Kivio have support for SVG Export and there is potential for Karbon to intergrate more closely more closely and leverage their functionality. (Adobe Illustrator includes graph and charting functionality.)

Karbon (Draw) and Krita (Paint) have started to share infrastructure including gradient loading and both can now make use of SVG gradients and future improvements will benefit both applications. There is much more potential for sharing of work and reuse of code across the suite which has not yet been exploited. Primarily KOffice uses KPart embedding but it seems likely as KOffice completes its move to the [[OpenDocument]] standard more and more things can be shared at a more fundamental level. Integration and reuse of features already in KOffice could make a signficant improvement to Karbon.

Karbon used a custom XML file format but is migrating to use the [[OpenDocument]] file format standard along with the rest of KOffice. Karbon has limited support for importing and exporting SVG.
