Matt Realistic (but unlikely) Move node or drag connection pans window way to Insert node after current while keeping connections (1 click even if 10 connections) copy paste at cursor location Fixing Ctrl-c ctrl-v intermittent fail (workaround: right-click /tap "C"...  right-click /tap "P") Make it not update if nothing has changed, (for optimisation of tree bits that process still images, & 3D playback with texture processing) Wishful thinking (highly unlikely) -Better handling of 32bit depth - Some ice-ification.. drag drop nodes, tab search input box, drop node on pipe to insert -"live" 3D nodes like little scene nodes refferring to some groups, layers or passes (rendered on the fly with renderer of choice or HQ-OpenGL) that can be part of tree and that you can pipe textures or footage in. -Better exposed hidden features that you have to know about to know that they're there Otherwise it's really good, very swift and very memory efficient (can handle loads of nodes in super big rez at 1 to 5 sec per frame renders) -has tons of features no one knows about - And your (intuitive/versatile) 3D environment can be your final comp.

One of the biggest travesties in Soft is how they left Illusion to stagnate and die. With a bit of effort it could have been a real contender. As it is its still used for quick comps even today. For something last worked on a long time ago thats impressive. Then again the compositor in blender is shaping up to be very useable. So there are very viable alternatives to Nuke.
