I have my first contribution to Inkscape in this release I think. It's quite a minor feature though, so I don't see it in the changelog. It allows the user to set their default saved file name. I was tired of drawing.svg :)
Love inkscape and wish it could get some engineering love around MacOS. For quick work I'll use it on MacOS, but anything deep I switch to Windows.
What issues do you have? I use Inkscape on Mac almost every day and lately hit very few bugs. I think a lot of them have been fixed in the last year or so. It used to be almost unusable with all the UI bugs (can't close tabs when you open them, can't resize the window without panes bugging out or the app crashing, etc). I get the occasional crash where it just closes completely for no reason, but very rarely in the l…
Aside from that, I absolutely LOVE Inkscape - there are no better tools if you want to have granular control over the SVG.
Edit: here's another one, not sure if macOS related tho - auto-selecting the parent when clicking the path underneath it. Because of that, I can't use a hotkey to switch the visibility of the selected path on/off (Inkscape switches the visibility of the parent layer instead, affecting everything that's inside).

I made a slicing plugin years ago that lets you create a layer that defines named rectangles. Each area under the rectangle is saved as an image.
In this case the "Good" is that it makes Gcode for lasercutter. Everytime it takes atleast 30 minutes, even when I have recorded instructions. Always some weird thing happens, and I have to do it again, step-by-step. There is zero clue what paths, edges, layers, backgrounds, vectors etc might actually mean.
But no more. Gemini AI made me a total solution. It takes a picture, checks it for "isolated islands" (which drop off and need bridges) and then generates perfect silhouette of Mannerheim or Mussolini.
There are few tools that are very ingrained in my daily operations, stay for years, and would be hard to replace, like Emacs or Firefox; Inkscape is among them.

Keep in mind that it's FREE and OPEN SOURCE software
Firstly developers and designers of OSS need honest feedback from users as well, not just commercial developers. Secondly, how does being OSS justify significant regressions?
Hit me with the downvotes, but the only thing their comment has contributed to is causing arguments.

My top 2 picks: 1) The fact that dialog windows almost always open on the wrong display if you have two displays and the external is the main one, 2) The fact that windows' positions/sizes are not remembered, There are a few other things (for example, occasional performance issues) but these two annoy me the most.

Just updated to 1.4.4 and it still looks to be drawing.svg.
