Multiple inheritance, even with diamond inheritance (which really can't be avoided in most use cases), is so useful in a language where it's actually supported (like Python), that I can't believe more folks don't switch to Python just to use it. Perhaps if Python 3K has real support for building UIs, there would be more recognition of it -- I continually encounter cases in re-factoring Java Swing UIs where it would be very nice to have. Better "super()" support would also help.
