I'd add number 4. Support Java properly. It's one of the most common languages in the world, and Emacs doesn't work with it. There has been a little movement on the JDEE list recently. I still use Emacs for editing Java, but only because I need to turn my code into a slide show (for teaching) rather than actually running it. Even this is going to be a problem in the future unless Emacs updates. Phil
