Below is a table of user needs we discovered and solutions we or the customers suggested. Some of the "missing" features people complained about are not missing at all (such as auto-complete or syntax highlighting) but the fact that people didn't know about them points to a discoverability issue we believe we can address through design.

My main concern is making the right decisions on what to change, and focussing efforts in the areas where we gain most benefit. Of course, the resources to do the work are also critical - the current team already have a good years worth of work in various additional features and improvements.
Absolutely our concern as well which is why we don't want to work in a vacuum.
