What are the potential implications of incorporating Skia and SVG functionalities into RichView and Delphi 10.3, and how could this enhance the overall user experience and functionality of the software?

Well, just my 2 cents worth. To use skia you'll have to drag around the skia dll with your app exe. But, if you do that it lets you open and use svg and webp files which I really liked. Now that I have the latest rve update I may put it back into my app again.

Yes, for VCL application, Skia only adds additional graphic formats (svg, webp, wbmp).
In FMX application, it adds these graphics format too.
And PDF export.
Also, in FMX, Skia4Delphi replaces a drawing engine completely, but it is more noticeable on Android, where Skia draws much better. On Windows, the standard DirectX drawing is already good enough.
PS: Skia4Delphi is able to play animations (Lottie, Gif, WebP). This functionality is not implemented in TRichView yet, but will be implemented in future updates.
