Helloooooo everybody !

I am preparing some Sage talk, and I wanted to say at some point: "Honestly
we are not that good. We have strong points but we miss many things too. It
all depends on what the developpers are interested in: we are great on some
research areas, and under water level on others"

Somehow this question is also related to William's "Sage has failed", as we
cannot be a replacement for Mathematica/Maple/.... unless we cover all
kinds of mathematics.

In your past experiences (possibly when using Sage to teach in a
classroom), in which areas do you think we are behind users' expectations ?

If we had such a list, we could even start asking people around "Do you
work on X ? Cool, we need your help for something big". We could also have
a list of such domains on our website, and do some (cheap) propaganda like:

"Sage as in 'Free Beer': if you can help us develop Sage's features in the
areas above, we owe you one. Actually we owe you many. Become a contributor
and be rewarded with a free beer from every Sage developper you will meet
around the world"

We have to know what we cannot do. So let's make a list.
