Quoted from PinMonk:It's not a demand list, it's a suggestion list and curated to make it as to the point as possible. Having all the bugs, issues, and suggestions curated into one post has to be helpful. It enabled issues in 1.12 to get addressed almost completely.
I think this is a great thread. There are always a few folks who worry that the designer will be influenced by certain half-baked suggestions and implement something that shouldn't be implemented. From what I've seen, they don't have to worry about that with this designer. I also think that good designers listen to the opinions of their customers and appreciate the feedback (the more the better)... and bad designers get all butt-hurt when anyone criticizes their design.
