Or a related theme, there is no way to scale/rotate a subset of the nodes of an object in Inkscape (rather than rotating/editing the whole object).
Not from the toolbar, but the keyboard shortcuts for scale (, and .) and rotate ([ and ]) work on the selected nodes in node edit mode.
I often use scale to produce shapes such as trapezia. I draw a rectangle, convert it to a path, select the two adjacent points I want to be the narrow end, and hit "," to scale them down. That way I know the trapezium is symmetric and that the two parallel edges are parallel.
