While some have said that providing for a customization scheme forInkscape, for some commands would prove difficult, I plead with you to find a way to make it happen. Issues in regards to the tools available in this application will mean nothing if people have to learn an entirely new set of commands to make it perform the way their used to. They won't, they'll walk.
I agree. It's not really that graphic artists are computer illiterate or anything, it is just that they have trained themselves to do things as much by 'feel' as anything. They do not consciously think of their mousestrokes/keystrokes/gestures, but of the transfer of the image from their hands and minds to the screen. It is like Michaelangelo putting down his chisel and picking up a brush. Not everyone could do it.
I could eventually be able to use Emacs productively in my code writing, but I am sure the output would never be as good as it is with my beloved old Nedit. It's not better or worse, just different.
But yes, I also really like the changes to the GUI.
