"Scripting that yields different visual results each time you run it (this is where I gave up)"
Ah yeah, I remember, this is why I stopped digging more into it, after weird starting results.
And I remembered my main issue with inkscape: text editing.
I would actually consider it broken beyond repair at the current state. Which is sad, as otherwise I am really happy with inkscape.
But I also very clearly remember the statement from the main dev from inkscape, when people ask him, if the next version of inkscape could have feature xyz:
he then just replies with a one liner, his bank account number.
