I agree that SVG is still a viable format and will be more so in time. Much has been done with it. Google "SVG animation" and you will get some idea of what the format is capable of. What is missing is executables for building SVG animations. At this time they need to be built by hand... XML/SMIL is a lil daunting for the average web developer.

but, svg animations load MUCH more quickly being all text, no player is required (no "DOWNLOAD NOW", no "UPGRADE TO SVG PLAYER PRO", no automatic upgrade monitor app stuck into yer menu tray, etc, etc), no security holes.

Adobe has abandoned svg for perfectly understandable reasons. Bill's Credo: Why Build It When You Can Buy It? SOMEONE will build an app for the rest of us. I have faith.
