Up spake fredd:
I'm pretty sure that a nicer icon set would greatly improve user experience and usability feeling, without changing anything else. I fully agree with you when you say that inkscape UI follow mental process ("I want it blue, blue is color, gimme the color thing!" ), and it would be even more the case with nicely designed icons, so you don't have to look around to find the "color thing".
On icons, my preferred white-on-black theme makes many of them invisible[0]. I know there's not much that can be done about this; most of the `bad' icons are of a black path. It's just something for the icon artists to think about :-)
