Another idea:

Add some kind of UI for effects. I found it really difficult to use them.

Something like: -(human) select two objects and X effect. -(computer)The first object is not valid. It needs to be four points long. -(human) select two valid objects and X

Sure. Many effects need to be moved to the core and made much more interactive and friendly. If we're having them as effects it's not because we want them to stay that way. It's simply because for someone, it was much easier to code, say, Envelope in Python as an extension, and we decided that it's better for Inkscape to have this functionality via a clunky Envelope extension than to not have it at all.
