Can this be a option when one boots up Inkscape? I would love to see document page option start up, and then I create a new document. (This is how Illustrator and Affinity works) I'm not seeing px being useful for anything other than exports to bitmap programs. Not all digital art is pixel based. If I had to make bitmap images, I'd use anything other than Inkscape or Illustrator. In rare cases, I will find myself exporting to bitmap so that I can do my work faster.

As it just came to me: What if we implemented a selection when the user creates a new document so they can actually choose what fits their needs best? (Possibly with a checkbox "remember as default")
Pop up a window and ask "What content do you want to create?" Two options:
- "digital art (pixel based)"
- "content for print (mm based)"
(I imagine a big button for each with one showing a computer display / smartphone and the other showing a piece of paper).
Option one would create a pixel based document with a useful size (e.g. 800 x 600 px²). Option two would create a scaled document (e.g. A4) with mm units (i.e. the current default template)
Maybe we could even add a dropdown to the latter where the user can select (mm, meter, inch, ... or even px)-based so most bases should be covered. (An inch-based default template could even further be specialized to be letter-sized)
I think that might solve a lot of confusion and frustration around the whole "default" template as one default might just not be enough...
Thoughts? ;-)
