Will lack of 4K be the DEATH of Xara?

1. When you put an arrowhead on a line it finishes BEYOND the end of the line. [WTF?!]

Xara might mntion Smart Lines. I wouldn't but it is part of the engine so won't change.

5. XDP has a bug that when you change the centre of rotation of a shape it does idiotic things and the next shape rotates in some bizarre way (I forget the details).

It is not a bug. In use, it does make sense.

There isn't a quick and easy way to rotate an object by 90 degrees

There is and it is intuitive. Ctrl+Rotate will lock to 90 degrees in steps of 45 degrees.

To me, the slow death of Xara is nothing short of a tragedy.
It sounds to me like Xara need a whole change of management ethos. Someone there needs to read "The Lean Startup" (by Eric Ries) and apply its principles of getting close to real new users.
Can't they just sell the whole thing to someone who at least gets the basics right?

Totally agree.
