  1.  @SlappyZA  Cool, but why not ImageMagick?

  2. Yeah, because using the command line is super difficult. First you have to open a terminal app, then navigate to where the file is with `cd` commands, then type `convert foo.svg foo.png` and that's too much for fragile minds. Of course, modern file browsers can open a terminal at the current location if you check the right click menu, and then you only have to type that last bit, but nah, still too much for everyone who's not out of touch.

  3. Why didn't you just use ImageMagick or InkScape or GIMP?

  4.  @oh3831  Learn it once and stuff it into a Bash script. You could even keep it on the desktop and drag and drop files.

  5. I don't understand how there are still devs that don't know about ImageMagick. It has the ability to scale and all that other fancy junk, if you're willing to take 10 minutes to read a man page, and since you're a developer you should have no problem doing that, simple conversions are super easy by merely doing `convert foo.svg foo.png`. Let's say you want to batch convert, easy peasy, just do `mogrify -format png *.svg`.
