As a designer using SVGs across the web, there are a few drawbacks that are easy to fix:

- platforms like Twitter and Google Slides not accepting SVGs. I assume this is due to security concerns.

- Using SVGs on a website doesn't render with included WebFonts like normal text would. This leads to outlining text, which is a huge maintainability burden.

- Graphics programs have tones of SVG bugs. Even "leading" software like Illustrator and Sketch have a lot of bumps in the road.

Overall really excited about SVGs and use them as much as possible.
