Lots of great functionality requests here. No-one has mentioned the interface.

I want a modern GUI like you see in most development environments with dockable/hideable windows and toolbars that do not stael any more screen estate than is needed

I could go along with that somewhat but if something comes down to feature vs. paint, I want feature.

One thing that annoys the crap out of non-windows users is the amateurish way a parent app's dialog will block access to the parent - can you do anything about this? What I mean is I can drag that dialog out of the way but the parent is completely locked up and inaccessible to commands/menus, etc. until I close the dialog. I run xp in vmware and have no desire at all to run vista so I hope if this can be addressed it isn't a vista-only solution.

edit: by "dialog" I don't just mean the "yes/no/maybe" boxes but any window popped up from its parent, such as the table print/csv-export window, stuff like that.
