Actually, Bulia, right now I'm working on the revision to the Inkscape for Adobe Illustrator Users document, and I'm at that part where you said "richer shape controls" and I'm trying to say the same thing except I'm trying to phrase it in terms of what Inkscape can do that Illustrator can't instead of what Inkscape can do better. So it needs a name, I think, for that functionality...
Things Inkscape can do that Adobe Illustrator can not:
* Edit SVG source directly * Clones, tile clones, edit clones on canvas * Keys to move/rotate/scale by screen pixels * Shape control, aka form editing aka form-centric control aka form control aka ...
Only one of the aka's will be used, of course. But there will be other places where a name for this functionality will be required.

I need some help coming up with a clever and descriptive name for the ability to edit shapes (polygon, rectangle, ellipse, spiral) with their respective tools (and the Tool Controls bar). "Shape Control" doesn't quite cut it, imo. Just looking for some brainstorming on this, so please throw out some suggestions.
"Name for the ability"? Or a name for the on-screen control? Or for the toolbar control? Can you give an example context where you would use the term you're looking after?
