Excluding animations kills this for me . We need more SVG animations on the web. But the state of animation in SVG is a headache unless your using a third party library .

Do we, though?
We've already had animated GIFs, the marquee tag, Java applets, and Flash animation, and they've all died out because 99.9% of the time the animation is obnoxious and terrible. Vector animation would be just as annoying.

#20There are many other popular vector graphics formats beyond those mentioned here. Lottie has already displaced SVG for animation/motion graphics, and for static content IconVG exists and is backed by Google. There's also PDF, PostScript, Flash, the glyf format in OpenType, etc.
How does eps really compare with the other formats mentioned above?
