Type size in pixels was reported as a bug several times. Probably people working for web don't care, but designers creating brochures, posters and things that have to end up printed, are more used to DTP points than to any other unit for type. With that change things will be better for that part of the userbase, and won't be worse for anybody, since the real units confusion is already installed with the current implementation in most of the tools.
I guess that's true.
JFTR - the mentioned feature request (including duplicates):
Bug #168164 "font sizes specified in pixels instead of points" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168164
The issue has been asked about repeatedly in the InkscapeForum (less so on #inkscape, afaict). From some of the support questions I have come across I suspect that many users aren't even aware that Inkscape's font sizes are specified in 'px' instead of the more commonly used (and expected) 'pt' units.
