I looked over them briefly only to respond to a single point in your letter. After that I of course looked at them more carefully. Please don't be oversensitive.
Again, I know of exactly three fundamental limitations of our node tool:
it can't drag segments, only nodes
it can't add nodes in arbitrary place on path
it can't edit nodes of two objects at once.
Plus...
- it can't do all drawing and editing of a path with the mouse and two
keys without leaving the canvas. {If this isn't a significant feature, then neither is Inkscape's use of shortcuts or Inkscape's enhanced shape editing.}
No because Inkscape can do all the same things, except for the big three I listed above, AND it can do it without leaving the canvas, too. Yes it uses much more keys than two, but this may be because it has some additional capabilities. For example can AI drag a node along its handles? Can it scale or rotate handles by keys? Select nodes by keys? etc.
- it can't continue drawing a path once it's been stopped. You can
extend a path in Inkscape, with copying the nodes or whatnot, but that is NOT the same as being able to continue to draw the path with drawing tools.
YES it can. Just switch to Pen or Pencil and continue your path.
If things are so easy to fix, then why don't you get busy fixing them instead of standin' here jawin' away with me? :) {I mean that in the most jovial way possible.}
Hey, what else am I doing these last days? Not fixing, you say? What else then?
