I have two suggestions for text labels:
1. Make the click location the center of the label, both horizontally and vertically. If I want to place a label in the middle of an object it's more convenient if I don't have to estimate in my head the length of what I'll type and thus where to click. I know I could reposition the label manually as a second step but why not making it easy to get it right in the first place?
Maybe have a toggle button so you can switch to left-justified but make centered the default.
2. If I reposition a shape with a label in it the system should heuristically guess that I mean to move the label with it. Right now if I make a shape with a label in it and move the shape moves but the text doesn't, that's silly. I realize it could be nontrivial to guess what shape a label is "on" if it's at the intersection of multiple shapes but at least do it in the simpler cases.
