As someone who uses connectors all the damn time, I'd like to toss in support for... uh more support. :D They actually slow down inkscape, and the more of them they are the worse it gets. If someone could fix that and bring proper support to svg (even Inkscape's svg 2.0+ that will surely result from continued development) I'm all for it. I know others who also want better connector support as well.
Coincidentally, or perhaps not, today while I was messing around with a connector in a drawing in Inkscape, my user interface started going so slow I thought it wasn't responding. At the time, I chalked it up to the fact that I was XML-editing the connector in ways it probably shouldn't have been, as well as snaking it between "connector-avoid" rectangles.
But after your mentioning that connectors make things go slow, perhaps my experience was an example of what you're saying.
I've been using dia for block diagrams. Perhaps if Inkscape connectors get a little faster I'll block diagram in Inkscape.
