I am half-kidding, but I would like a tool that is smart enough to show inline spelling and grammar problems and fix them. Just like the spelling and grammar tools in Word, this should be a feature you can disable if it gets in your way.

The biggest obstacle I see to building tools like this is the time required to make them work even half well versus the payoff in potential market for programming tools. Maybe Dreamweaver has a big enough market to make it a viable enhancement, but compare that to the size of the market for MS Word.
