More on topic: I am thinking about implementing a guide dialog (where all guides are listed and can be editted) aswell as guide coloring as proposed in this thread.
Discoverability of the existing guides functionality sucks rocks, if you click on a guide a little dialog appears allowing you to specify the coordinates.
speaking of discoverability, I tried to find a way to position guide precisely and never found this feature (which was exactly what I was looking for). When the mouse is on a guide the status bar message displays its position, maybe this could be added: "double click to edit position". and maybe simple click would be enough: it's difficult to double click on such a thin object (particularly with a pen or a trackpad) and clic+drag or simple clic can be distinguished I think.
IMO all the guide coordinates fields must appear in the dynamic funtion bar (the one that changes depending on the selected tool). Also, a guide must be selectable (a single click is more than enough). Double clicking to edit guides is not the right way to do as it is counterproductive, as mentioned previously.
