Hi,

I think that they do understand the importance of user-friendly interfaces, but what is friendly to one person may not be to another.
Regarding user-friendliness: I have used CorelDRAW in the past, and the interface of Inkscape is IMHO much more user-friendly & the layout in general is much "clearer". I agree that the palettes could be improved, but in general I am regarding this criticism as way too strong (and somewhat unfair). As I suggested already, docks would be nice, but otherwise I personally find Inkscape very user-friendly. One thing that could be better is, that when I open a file, a new Inkscape window appears, so that I have to close the previous one first.

I want to say that I have found the Inkscape developers to be among the most thoughful developers I have ever encountered when it comes to usability and I think that is one of the things that has been pivotal to the success of Inkscape.

Not sure if that is still true in the latest current version of Inkscape but yeah, if the current window is NOT DIRTY && is EMPTY the current window should be used. It sounds familiar, there may already be an RFE for that behaviour.

I was fairly certain we implemented that several releases ago...
