Rotating the canvas is incredibly useful when working with any screenless graphics tablet. This seems like it should be pretty simple to implement considering the 3D viewport already has the functionality.

Yes, this is a really interesting observation. Since blender already has pretty decent paint mode, this would definitely increase the ease of usage of 2D painting.

@sreenivas9alapati: Blender's brush system is surprisingly powerful. I'm thinking of experimenting with using it as a 2D art program. I used to use mypaint back in the day so I like "brush only" work flows.

@graehu: Yes, mypaint is an amazing piece of software! And yes, blender is not less. And there are already crazy folks like craig jones who did complete painting in just blender. youtu.be/VErRKDyy6DQ Hope this one request goes through!

It could also help with aligning vertices on UV maps. Currently they can only be aligned on the X or Y axis. It would need an equivalent to Transform Orientation = View.
