Excellent post!

This is my list:

1. Documentation, documentation, documentation! Tired seeing "Documentation for 
this item has not yet been entered" (or whatever).
2. Support. Stackoverflow is nice, but not enough. If this means that I have to 
pay more for the product, so be it. I am willing to do that as long as I know I 
will get a solution.
3. Community tools: mailing lists do not bring more people, forums do.

On the technical side, I'd love a linker whitelist and blacklist on types, 
instead of Do not link - SDK only - All assemblies. But I do not know how easy 
this would be.
