I can't think of a decent looking button (even for very loose definitions of "decent") that couldn't have been done with vectors. Can you give me a good example?

My point is that Gimp was pointed as a Photoshop replacement, but then excused for poor vector support.

Then, Inkscape was proposed for its vector support, but it neglects raster support.

Why use two solutions when Photoshop offers both capabilities?
