Awesome! Some feedback of my own:
1) So powerstroke is now available from the shapes drop-down: Very neat! Can the "eclipse" form also be replaced by a powerstroke? It's actually the most common usage scenario.
Also, I recommend adding a separation line between the powerstrokes and "from clipboard", to show that they are different functions.
2) Cusp styles are currently either Beveled or Rounded. How complicated is the coding for an "Angled" option? For font designers in particular, thick powerstrokes using successions of angled segments render a bit strangely, when some may be hoping for sharp edges (Example: the letter A with a sharp top)
(I thought I suggested this before, but the mail never seems to have reached the mail archive...)
3) Does anybody think he might need an "assymetric" option?
4) +1 on the "Filled Powerstroke" (or whatever it will be called) option in the drop down.
As for manually setting the width value for powerstroke points, I suggest click-enter for a numerical box to appear near the point, for the user to input the value.

Hello again, here's some further feedback:
1) A way to directly set width values for Powerstroke points (or at least a command that sets the value to zero without having to directly edit the XML) would be useful. 2) I noticed the 'Triangle in' and 'Triangle out' shapes now use Powerstroke. Is there any chance we could get an extra shape option added to that drop down that produces both a Powerstroke and the clone original LPE at the same time. 3) Adding and removing Powerstroke control points should not require switching to another control and back to have them show up properly. 4) The 'Smoothness' control cannot be dragged (at least on Windows 7). Instead, it changes values by 0.01-0.03 (appears to be random) and then loses focus.
