I have two things that i have recently wanted too:
- the ability to delete a handle somehow
Ctrl+click will do it. Ctrl+clicking both handles will make a linear segment.
- force the handles of a corner node to be mirrored along the x or y axis
-- when i change one handle of the corner node, the other is mirrored -- useful for drawing a shape like a perfect heart shape
A more generic thing to do would be provide point symmetry support directly in the node editor. With this, one could for example place a node exactly at the symmetry line and the resulting shape would be seamlessly stroked with correct miter joins. However, this would require very careful design to implement.

Several Fontforge behaviours for nodes could be interesting to introduce in Inkscape : automatic make vertical or horizontal handles for example. The extremas availability is already a great progress for Inkscape for those who draw fonts.
Another thing that is reportedly useful is deleting a node while preserving both the shape and the smoothness of adjacent nodes (essentially, fitting with one less degree of freedom than normally, modifying only the length of the adjacent handles if their nodes are smooth). I received this suggestion at last year's LGM.
