It is rather distracting to post user wishes to the developer list. People here should be aware of the shortcomings and without being a developer, your opinion is just one of many users. But let's look at some of your suggestions nevertheless... > 1) Semi transparent overlay of the original layer when transforming > (scale or rotate). > (It seems pretty obvious with the planned Cairo support) This is not obvious, nor trivial, to solve with Cairo. Perhaps we can solve it for 2.6, perhaps not. I expect that this will be an issue until we have fully switched to GEGL. That means for a few more years. > 2) Redrawing speed at <100% zoom > Redrawing when a large image is zoomed out is still slow. the quality of > the display is excelent, but just turning on or off a layer (for > instance) is slow. I wouldn't say it's slow and I am surprised that you are saying that it is. There are however some optimizations to the display and preview code that I am planning to do for 2.6. > 3) Axis Constrain for move tool. > This is very, very useful. Sure. But it has been on our roadmap for years and no one seems interesting in fixing it. So unless a developers feels like working on this one, it will stay unimplemented. > 4) Angle constrain for path tool. > Afaics in the documentation, this feature existed in previous versions. > Was it removed?

Same answer here. This is on our roadmap for years already and it is very well possible. There is even code for some of this that just needs to be finished. But without someone working on it, this is not going to happen ever.
