Yeah styles rule but reserving my full judgement untill we get groups! Loving the types switch on/off function, great for selecting objects but not acidentally selecting edges, curves etc. great function. Will we get an option to lock a style so it's there but we can't select it? - useful for blueprint backgrounds. It would be nice to have a choice to select an objects style before drawing it - say for example as far as i can tell I have to draw a line in the default style and then manually select it and assign a style after which is a bit frustrating - but it maybe in your plans already just not had time to stick it in yet! One non style related point but have you considered some sort of polygonal/freeform lasso selection tool? Im finding the rectangular selection a bit cumbersome at times and often think a polygonal selection function would be much easier.

Great progress can't wait for the full v.2!

EDIT: found out how to preselect a style before drawing.....doh!
