I admit that I only use Inkscape on an occasional basis but I don't 
recall it being so atrociously bad in my past experiences with it. 
However the current round of bugs I'm seeing suggest that the developers 
aren't really in control of their code.

Grouping objects creates different results in transformations than 
telling Inkscape to treat the selection as a group. Ungrouping objects 
causes them to shift position or rotation. And putting text on a path 
produces bizarre results. If the path isn't a circle, you may not be 
able to produce the effect you want.

As far as I can remember, these things all used to work. Does anyone 
know what's going on with Inkscape development to make it so unusable 
right now?
