Put my vote down for more diagram/connector features in Inkscape. Some things that need improvement in Inkscape's connectors (I know I am reiterating):

- The connectors only originate from the center of the objects as explained above. This can be really frustrating.
- The connectors do not extend to the actual border of the stroke, they only extend to the rectangular meta region of the object. In other words, if you try to make a connection to a circle or rounded object at a 45 degree angle, the line disappears and doesn't look connected.
- Need ability to add glue points, as stated above.

Inkscape could pickup and really extend their user base by adding diagram and connector features. I see no reason why Inkscape can't be a fully featured alternative to Omnigraffle.
