Lately, I've been using Inkscape to check my math when I do a lot of editing of svg in my text editor. I never save anything in Inkscape, I just use it to count pixels.
@victorwestmann I write svg in a text editor, and when I put text into a rectrangle, I need to make sure the text is where I want it. Also, I check to make sure that the rectangle is the right size for the text. The following example might show it better.
So, I have text starting at x 7, but I don't know where it ends in my text editor. So I open the file in Inkscape and count the pixels at the end of the text. In this case I see where the text ends, and count 6 after it, and get that the rectangle needs a width of 92 (with the font set to sans-serif).

Hi Lady Aleena, I don't get it. Can you give me an example of this? (intrigued)

Did that make sense?
