One other thing that is a bit weird about SVG is how some parts don't feel tightly integrated. For example, paths and SMIL events have their own syntax. And a lot of APIs related to them seem to be either abandoned, deprecated, or just hard to find. There's also SVG2 which is confusing, as it seems like no browser will ever implement it fully.
That being said, SVG allows you to create quite beautiful and complex effects with relatively little code.
