If our default palette has some common colors, changing them will be unfrequent.
As I said below: I don't like the idea of common colors in a way that they are pre defined. That means I have to add all the colors I want to use to the palette. easiest to do so is double click a color, which opens a dialogue, then you can define the color and name it (will be a flyover hint in the palette).
Exactly, and I don't see why our current fill&stroke would not fit this workflow.
Also unfrequent with the exception of stroke width.
I use join and caps and miter rather frequent, actually
And double clicking or ctrl-clicking the stroke width thingie would call fill&stroke with the stroke style tab.
I actually like to use inkscape for prepress. Why have another tool when all you need to to is get the proper color space?
Well, for one thing, we simply cannot claim to be a prepress tool, both due to SVG limitations and to our own limitations. Our CMYK color selector is more of a toy (no profiles, no gamut, no nothing).
I use layers all the time and I really cannot imagine how I lived without them. Yes, there are some operations that are difficult and clumsy with the quick layer selector, but for many simple common operations it is very convenient and natural, indeed more natural than the layer dialogs in other apps.
Really? I like the Gimp layer dialog a lot, but that's different. So Adobe is alright, bit I'd like a combined layer and objects dialog in some way.
Really. For example one of the most common operations is, not even changing anything, but simply looking up which layer is current. Doing so with the quick layer selector in the predictable place is so much faster than finding the layers dialog, then scanning (or even scrolling!) the dialog to find the highlighted line... These milliseconds really add up when you work on something complex.
