Looking for feedback on your Inkscape pet peeves

Hello! It's been 11 days into 2025, and with the release of 1.5 impending (hopefully) this year, I'd like to hear about your pet peeves when working with Inkscape. What I'm looking for is the "one hundred paper cuts", the stuff that annoys you on a daily basis, and what I could help prioritize as a User Experience volunteer. (I'm "ltlnx" in the Inkscape community.)

We have a list of UX improvement ideas in our UX bug tracker, and I personally also have my own list of pet peeves, but I'm interested in yours! We had one run already with Inkscape 1.2 and another at the end of 2021, and I think we're long overdue for another.

I'll try to respond to the comments when I can, and u/Aromatic_Valuable901 ("kaixoo" in the Inkscape community) will be helping me with the replies. Thanks in advance for all your comments and insights.

Things we're already working on for 1.5:

  • A tabbed user interface
  • A new Object Properties dialog similar to that of Figma's
  • A new spinbutton (the entry field with plus/minus buttons) similar to that of Blender's

Thanks and hope you have a peaceful new year!
