true, but I would think if someone has not upgraded for a while they
are unlikely to ever again.

I was thinking more along the lines that users tell you what they want
via blank comment box, so no possible feature list is offered, you
collate and determine

I see on the website it shows graduation and cross hatch can be
applied to the line fill
would it be possible to have a picture or a repeating 'photo' texture
pattern?
On the subject of lines can a line be moved inside or outside of it's
centre path - the reason I ask this is when applying thicker lines to
text, because the line is centred it eats into the letter and distorts
it. (thin strokes become impossibly thin) Whereas if it can be applied
outside the path the letter is preserved intact
the current way to do this effect is to have two lines of text on top
of each other - the bottom with the double thick line the top
lineless.
