One big QGIS dream would be to have an Illustrator (AI) file export from QGIS (like the one in ArcGIS) where text stay as text and layers stays as layers. That would be so awesome. Also CMYK support would be superb!

AI files are (I think) closed files. I created SimpleSVG plugin some time ago to be able to export not too complex to svg for further editing in Inkscape. You could use that?

I keep the layers separated in (Inkscape) groups, and put the labels in a separate layer if I'm correct...

You could have a look into that one first.

I think a good beginning in this could be that QGIS preserves layers or layers view order when exporting in PDF. The exported PDF files are very messy. But I assume that QGIS relies on PDF export features embedded in QT.

@M-Rick QGIS uses GDAL to export to PDF. GDAL can use different backends to render the PDF.
