And where do I define/edit the colors, if not on the Fill and Stroke panel? Direct access to the color sliders/wheel is pretty much a must for the color-decisions and tweaking stages of graphic design.
There are other ways. a) Click on the palette. b) Paste style. c) Drag the fill color on the current style widget in the bottom left corner.
The trips to the F&S dialog are a little cumbersome though. For example I often go there just to adjust the alpha value of a color. There could be a color wheel with an alpha slider that pops up when you click on the fill color in the bottom left.
I'm usually all for doing things right in place, inline, fluid. But you have to see that on-canvas editing is miss-click prone and can be laborious.
The most important advantage of on-canvas editing is that it gives you direct visual feedback.
