Views fields are forced now to be Edit'able while this should be configurable. There could be an option on a field views configuration dialog to make field editable or not.

I'd also like this to be an option, +1

Because not all edit links come from views, there could also be a configuration page where you could set which fields should be editable in what entities...

That would be extremely helpful for situations where a slideshow is showing numerous entities and/or fields. As the slides move forward, the edited field goes away... it gets pretty ugly

What if "editability" would be a formatter option (turned on by default)? I think this would solve many problems with entities.

ya that sounds like a great idea -- formatters should carry over to views, too. i'm not sure what it would take to code that in... probably nothing too extreme?

Yes, should respect input settings for security reasons too. If a field is set to full html, a user whose role isn't allowed to edit full html shouldn't see that field as in-place editable. Right now these fields show up as editable but then once you save the change the change doesn't stick, which is good but would be better if it wasn't editable in the first place.

Views support has been branched off from Edit module into https://drupal.org/project/edit_views, so this is no longer a problem.
