Same for gimp. :-) Since some versions text is floated in a way that you can
edit it later on which means that it is not really rendered unless you do

I agree, the
final text is rendered as a bitmap. But in Inkscape, that
isn't done until you export the image. So in the meantime, you can
resize the text and do other stuff with it without losing any quality. Arnold Krille wrote:

I prefer adding text to images using Inkscape. Vector-based text comes
out much better than bitmap based text, at least to me.
After saving to a
pixel-based format (and I believe that dave means
pixel-based when he talks about images) that advantage becomes nill. And
gimp afaik uses the same font-engine as inkscape to render text. And yes,
inkscape renders text! To screen and to the exported pixmap/image...
