Well,..
Considering the move to put some effort into a new UI design, I say we could combine > Customisable UI with >Inkscape that works on tablet. It wouldn't need to be a whole new version, a new screen setting called blank slate, with nothing but some floating dockable tool widgets.
For tablets, a customisable UI would do the trick. Hell, just a customisable toolbox would do the trick, for starters. If you can initiate a widget to appear on screen now, I cannot imagine it to be that difficult to create some buttons named ABC etc. that when clicked executes a key combo, that you could just add to the default one.
Ehm,.. better still if you could replace the default options (such as tweek, star, spiral and 3d box) with something you actually would like to use and/or change the locations of such tools so something like the bucket fill tool and color dropper don drop of my low res screen. Those are nice gadgets, but the past 13 years I've hardly ever used them. A golden ratio drawing tool would make more sense to me than the spiral. It would also allow for some of the those useful LPE's and extensions to find a place on the desktop rather than hidden in the drop down menu.
So would I rather increase the productivity of Inkscape than add more options? Yes, I would! Reorganising the UI to my idea is at the same level of importance as optimising code considering the plethora of hard to access options we already have, but hardly use. Call me a point and click addict if you like, but having a visual reference is important to me. Keyboard mappings don't stay in my Alzheimer brain.

William, Could you tell me where you found this button bar utility? So far I have never been able to find anything usable for that except full keyboards or numerical pads. Just a small bar would be quite useful already.
