Not sure is this is the right place, but:

Would like to see a few additions to Part Designer, namely:
1. Ability to move eraser with WASD (when you've selected eraser, WASD just
moves viewport, which seems pretty useless)
2. Ability to erase based on shapes. Would be nice if I could use a part as
an eraser, similar to the difference function in POV-Ray. How else am I supposed
to create curves?

Point 2 already exists: you can intersect / join / minus pairs of selected objects.
Select the binary operation first from the tool icon dropdown, then select both
objects, then click the tool icon.
