[Inkscape-user] Layer Editor?

Inkscape's use of layers I find potentially powerful, but the current interface seems limiting. Inkscape's use of layers appears more-or-less equivalent to those used in the GIMP. Therefore, would it be a good idea to implement something like the GIMP's "Layers" window, allowing the user to physically see the separate layers, toggle their visibility, and rearraign their order?
