I'm a huge fan of inkscape, but I find the layers in 1.2 really annoying, and a backwards step. That the visibility "eye" only appears when a layer is not visible seems pretty counter intuitive to me, and that clicking anywhere else on the layer opens it up to reveal the elements inside is also a backwards step to me. Being able to see them is a great idea, but this move makes it much harder to manage documents with multiple layers.

I've used and evangelised for inkscape for many years, but I wish I had the skills to contribute to it in a meaningful way for areas like this.
