From eWeek: "In a session billed as the browser wars up close and personal, key Microsoft, Mozilla and Google representatives spoke about the past present and future of the browser platform as they see it . . . one of the issues that stood out to me was that of developer discontent. When the Ajaxians opened up questioning to the audience, an attendee stood up and said Google's announcement of its new browser "was greeted with shock and horror," by him."

I kid of get the performance argument for canvas, although in this case I don't get the point of JS, java being superior from my point of view. It should be used where it needs to be used, but not where SVG can replace it. SVG can do pretty animations too and objects are identifiable and usable from javascript. You also have events like click events and stuff in SVG. You can use the optimizeSpeed attribute and get per-pixel precision. You can also use bitmaps in SVG. It can do much more than static scalable pictures.
