I hardly think that your many requests to make Rb into a sort of
bastardized C++ will attract new developers. Version control, on the
other hand, probably would attract new developers, and perhaps
encourage existing developers to buy more licenses. Support for
Cocoa may attract more people. Improved Linux support will likely
increase the appeal of Rb to Linux-using companies.

You must be kidding! Building UB's is a huge marketable feature. I
believe it's the single biggest thing that's causing RB 5.5 hold outs
to invest in RB 2007, and the most important feature driving 2005 and
2006 users to upgrade.
