I don't like the idea of replacing the existing sliders in the fill&stroke dialog. They are there for a reason, and their background color gradients are a lot more helpful than standard scale popups. But in all other places where we have just spinbuttons, adding scale popups will be a good thing.
However... now that I think of it, no, not in all places. In many places, the spinbutton has a huge range (e.g. from -1e6 to 1e6) but the range of most useful values is a lot narrower. Making a scale slider with million-wide range will be crazy and useless, whereas using some artificial narrower limits will look arbitrary and very annoying when you run into those limits.

Here is a feature I think would make inkscape MUCH more streamlined, eliminating a LOT of wasted screen real estate (especially in the fill/stroke screen). This is a diagram of my request:

Also, a demo of the concept for windows is available here:
