Well, _I_ do... ;-) I'm creating a "splash-screen" for a windows program and the software displaying it, can't handle transparencies other then completely transparent/completely colored. I've created some rounded shapes in Inkscape and then I exported it to PNG. Now I need a hard edge, otherwise the edge might look fringed if the user has the "wrong" desktop-color. So, I'd choose to have a jagged border instead. At this point, it means that I nead to tweak INKSCAPE's PNG output more or less by hand, painting individual pixels.
Why, one might wonder, did I start using rounded shapes in the beginning? Well, I _thought_ our program supported alpha-transparencies, and now my collegues want to stick with the rounded shapes... :-S

Maarten

AA is also a problem with bitmaps. When you import an image and then export the drawing, the image gets blurred a little. Here's an example.
Just import an image, do not scale it, snap it to pixel grid, and export at 90 dpi. There will be no blurring because pixels of the image will 1:1 correspond to output pixels.
I think it would be nice to be able to tweak AA for every object and specially for text and bitmaps.
If you disable AA for a bitmap and export it at a different resolution, you will get various distortions in small details which will look much worse than blurring. Just try to resize an image in gimp/photoshop without interpolation to get an idea. Do you really need this?
