Thanks for your offer of input, John.
I'm one of the professional designers who works with the devs in the Inkscape project, and I also help with the irc chat questions quite often.
If you would please forward all your ideas to me for Inkscape changes/tweaks, etc. I can tell you how Inkscape presently handles the requested items, how we will handle them in the future (if we have plans), and also use your input and advice along with the advice of other artists who will be joining our group at LGM to talk about UX (User eXperience). I'm sure at least some of them will be covered, and more user input is always appreciated.
Thanks again!

I have a graphic designer wife who has grumbles about every software package she meets - usually with good reason.
Inkscape seems to have been developed by programmers looking out, rather than by artists looking in and together we may have suggestions that could improve the appeal of Inkscape to artists, especially those just discovering the power of the technology.
I personally welcome all suggestions and constructive criticism, but we may have some reasons not to implement them. I don't understand what "looking out" and "looking in" mean in this context, but I know that Inkscape has been successfully used by many talented web designers to create some amazing stuff (see https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/ for instance). If you can contribute in any way, that will be even better (see
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/How_to_start_contributing_to_or_usin... ).
Finally, see
http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/netiquette/email/start-new-th... for why you should not reply to an existing message in order to start a new thread . As it stands, this message of yours is burried deep inside an unrelated thread.
