Manipulate nodes from two objects
Is there a way to manipulate nodes from multiple objects simultaneously?
Excuse my use of Illustrator, but it's the only way I know how to express this in Illustrator!

It's in the plans but I can't make any promises when we'll get it coded.

meanwhile you can use a workaround: - select your two objects - combine them into one (Path > Combine or Ctrl+K) - switch to node tool: you can now edit you two objects simultaneously - break them apart if you want them to still be two separate objects (Path > Break apart or Shift+Ctrl+K)

I don't think you need to apologize: it is useful to know the good features of other software. Plus, there is no real competition between Illustrator and Inkscape. Inkscape is not a commercial software, it is developed by people willing to give some of their time to make something different, something better, and who let everybody benefit of their efforts. It just happens to be so good that one can risk a comparison but I am pretty sure that the goal of Inkscape developers is not to take Adobe down ;-)

Thanks Jiho!
I have tried that workaround. However, if my two objects are of a different color, and I combine them by union, they turn into one color. Not exactly what I want, but still a handy trick!
Comparing applications: You're totally right, there is no harm in comparing! I really wanted to explain myself without having to contextualize it with another application...! There are so many awesome parts of Inkscape that are incomparable. And, I think Inkscape has this attribute because the program addresses user objectives rather than how it can compare or meet users' expectations based on another program.

Oh yes indeed, I haven't realized that before. So much for the workaround... But then what is the difference between "Combine path" and "Union"? Any idea somebody?

The difference comes into play when the paths overlap. Difficult to explain easy to see. :-)
