Comment 11 for bug 430745

I was about to write a pissed off reply, but fortunately Pablo replied first saying the same I'd say, but in a more calm fashion.

I don't think it's a good idea to dumb-down an application because people is lazy enough to not RTFM.
I have a pretty vast experience with computers and although I try to find out how new applications work by myself at first, I go to the manual if I can't get something as I expect.
It's impossible to make everyone happy with an interface, so there has to be a balance between ease of use and power, but it's not always possible to cover both fronts. That's why the project Kidscape started.
The more advanced users don't want an oversimplified application, they want flexibility and power. And having to read some manual pages to use a powerful application sounds like a reasonable compromise, don't you think?

About the feature of lattice deform itself, it would be obviously a good addition to inkscape.
That would be the solution of the limitations of the current deform LPEs, since you can't mix perspective with curves or envelope distorts.
A simple example would be to place a logo on a cilindrical surface (rotated on the X axis). I tried everything and it seems almost impossible to achieve with inkscape.
