A few things are on my mind, although they're pretty general and not  
very specific to the next release:

* Support all the UIs more equally. E.g., vty supports tabbing and  
split windows; Cocoa supports drag/drop, I think; gtk supports  
something about cabal projects (never quite understood what this did,  
never used it successfully, but there's some pane on the left side).  
There's probably other things I'm missing. We should at least try to  
get tabbing in all UIs.

* Make Vim a first-class citizen. Emacs seems to be much more cleanly  
implemented, and a lot of Vim feels messy to me. It's hard to extend  
it, especially for sub-commands, and the tab-completion stuff is  
pretty messy.

* Yi needs a _real_ website and logo!

Again, these are more long-term.
