Probably if we are talking about curved lines, the problem is dummy and we all agree. But when coming to straight lines it's different. What does mean "preserve the shape when removing a node from a segmented path"? Is it for sure: "make some segments become curved lines"? I see no accuracy in this interpretation. To me, if I remove a node from a rectangle, it becomes a triangle, not a mix of straight and curved lines that nobody would define similar to a rectangle. The problem is that you cannot preserve the shape of a segmented path when you delete a node so having this behavior as default looks very, very strange to me.
I agree. I too mainly use Inkscape for technical drawing; deleting a node from a path with only straight lines (polygon?) should keep all lines straight. The current behaviour is very strange to me too.
