Default Best poker room?

Hello everyone, I guess this kind of post has been seen dozens of times, but I'm interested in your opinions about the different websites out there. To me, they all seem pretty similar. I've played on about 4 or 5 different ones, and haven't seen that many different features.
For the moment I'm sticking to www.pokerroom.com because I'm quite successful on it and have the added value of loyalty points. I think only some very powerful features would make me change rooms.
Which brings me to my question; 1.what interesting feature makes your favorite room worth the subscription/or what are the most important features on it? And 2.do you have any ideas for a revolutionary feature on a pokerroom?

I would say 1.player notes, HU game volume because that is my favored game, gift vouchers are an interesting plus when you have many online friends. pokerroom is a generally satisfying room , but I can't really say I find a specific feature to be amazing.

2. Poker is a lot about game selection, i.e following worse players than yourself around. So if a website could implement a way not only to keep notes on players, but to be able to send a notice when they are online and also send them a personal challenge regardless of wether or not they are playing would be a huge plus.
Also, a good statistics software indicating bankroll variation, results against individual players, hourly rate etc. would be nice (as opposed to the pokerroom one, only giving hand history, session time/wins, and far from mistake proof).

Does this exist somewhere on the web?

Easy table selections at rooms is a mixed blessing. The easier it is to find fish on a site(i.e. data mining, free buddy tools) the more of a rock garden the site becomes.

Eventually, fish go broke, and quit. A search tool would enable *you* to benefit from that natural process, instead of the random player who is lucky enough to find himself at the right table at the right table. I don't think a search tool would prevent other fish from emerging....

Well just look at all rooms that permit data mining, almost all of them are pretty tough
