For creating some images, or stick together some mock-ups, yes. But a big part of creating “real” UI’s needs to be done in css/html and maybe java script when output ports been involved. That can’t be done with PenPot or any other SVG editor.
The sdk does a good job by generate a first setup of those which then could easily be edited. Results could be viewed (and used in dry mode) in realtime. So you get a good feel for how your mockup works in real.
A updated sdk with SVG graphics would be a real step to forwarding the “new” direction of MOD UI’s to developers.
Also, this is something were interested designers could directly start with (fork the mod-sdk,replace png’s with SVG’s, edit the needed css/html files and send a pull request)
But, when there is the impression that such a pull request wouldn’t be accepted, no one will do it.
