   Not really. It was actually as brief as I described in the video. Didn't   
   feel like I could quickly get that one going, so I moved to the next   
   option. And yes, I immediately fell in love with SVG.   
      
   Of course I don't think it's impossible to get things going in PS, the   
   question is - how much time do I want to put into it? Especially if I   
   got the functionality of vector graphics covered.
