It builds upon some of the ideas of Bret Victor (hey, who isn't doing it these days?) with a scrubbable interface to manipulate numbers. You can introduce an exact number by double clicking on it.
Might be nice if there were some shapes available either on the menu or on the tool bar to the left. Arc, circle, box, rectangle, all come to mind. Then the ability to scale and instance of same would be quite handy. First thoughts...

Some nice features that might not be obvious:
* Alt + drag = clone
* Alt + scroll = zoom
* Spacebar + drag = pan
* Shift + Arrow key = move by 10 pixels
* Drag and drop import of SVG and bitmap files.
If you want to give it a spin with a really complex SVG file you can open your own or load this example file: http://editor.method.ac/?url=gallardo.svg
I made the app touch friendly, so you can check it up on your iPad. Some touch specific customizations are in order but it works.
You can draw rects and circles by clicking on the corresponding tool and clicking and dragging on the canvas (standard drawing app conventions).
You scale and resize the intance by dragging its corner. If you want to draw perfect circles and squares hold shift while drawing.
