I'd like to thank all of you for providing your input. Shows that the text tool needs improvement.
From my user point of view the text tool indeed needs improvements, but in other areas. The fonts handling could use some improvements, of course, but there are things that are far more important than that for an everyday user. Flowed text management is one of those things. Currently the flowed text management is extremely limited, so limited that it becomes almost useless. It doesn't have hyphenation/word break, there is no way to add line spacing before and after paragraphs, styling text inside a paragraph is quite painful, etc. It would be nice also to be able to use columns and margins inside the text block.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the proposed enhancements (although I have some doubts about some of them), but as a professional designer using Inkscape for my job, I can live without them, but having to work without proper flowed text is a serious limitation (I end up composing my paragraph text in Scribus, and as you may know there is no way to bring that text back to inkscape and keep it editable).
I think there are better uses for a GSoC slot.
