It seems like a decent number of tweets and complaints I've seen around the community (understandably) are about inkscape crashing.
Doing basic searches for bugs tagged w/ crash gives the following info: All statuses is over 200 bugs and Confirmed or In Progress have 84. 84 crash bugs that can be reproduced seems unreasonably high for something intended for production work and code-wise there's a chance that some are caused by shared underlying issues.
If anyone is interested in taking a look into these to see if there are any you might be able to fix, that would be awesome.
