But other than that I don't think there are many bugs in wxWindows [that affect us].

Meeting user expectations is important. Right. Also, adding features which I personally need is important -- this is one of the main motivation I work on Mahogany after all. More generally, having fun (and this probably means adding some interesting features, at least sometimes) is important too.
