In Inkscape, I find myself using the detailed snapping options often when editing paths, particularly the snapping to boundaries, intersections, and points. Improving the the snapping of path nodes would be very helpful in Scribus, especially since sometimes you need to edit paths once imported into Scribus from Inkscape. Being able to toggle options on and off as needed would be a good improvement. I've attached the advanced snapping settings from Inkscape.
