I see absolutely no problem with Inkscape becoming the most configurable vector editor ever, even if some options are used by 0.001% of users. Besides their direct value of configurability, options also have educational value: if they're logically named and laid out, looking at the preference dialog page instantly gives you a good idea of the program's capabilities.
Configurable is a good thing, but I think that too many preferences can significantly effect usability. We need to be careful not to let things that don't have a reasonable reason to be configured be configurable.
I agree configurability is important, although it would probably be a good idea to make sure every option is documented someplace as to what it does.
