I personally love Inkscape's current toolbar implementation and have found it has a very short learning curve (easy to learn) when compared to other software.


I really like that picking a tool (from the vertical list) gives a secondary horizontal toolbar that has more refinements for that specific tool.  It's really nice.


My two cents.

In Help menu, there is "Inkscape Manual" and "FAQ" entry, don't
they do the job ? How could it be improved ?

Also on the topic, I find the bottom bar showing current status
and tool shortcut really handy to discover and remember
functionalities.

You seem to have experience with a lot of different softwares,
which is very useful.

Maybe screenshots / documentation of the features you find
useful elsewhere could help, because not everybody has access to
these softwares.

A separate thread for other UI/UX proposals might be easier to
follow, since the "Pencil tool using powerstroke" proposal seems
awesomely fixed and successful :)

@devs, is inkscape-devel the best place to discuss UI/UX
improvement ideas ?

Is https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/issues suitable too ? It
might be easier to keep track and attach images..

Cheers,

Victor
