Hi Michel,

The initial question was about a constrained rotation (+-90°) :
if it is the only allowed rotation, then 2 toolbar buttons are a logical 
way. It's the usual practice on most gallery software.

        Right - and that is achievable in linear time.

So, if devs start to implement a constrained rotation in writer, it 
would be interesting to use handles in order to prepare users to a 
future non-constrained rotation.

        The problem there (as well as the ergonomic one you point out) is that
all that rendering and interaction code would be extremely
time-consuming to produce - such that the feature would stay not-done,
and people would not be able to rotate their images by 90degrees which
is mostly what they want :-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
