One suggestion that I have not seen here and that I miss greatly (I just started to use Spyder a few weeks ago, writing code every day and trying to determine if it would be suitable for students) is to implement code folding.
Other suggestions I would have relate to having simpler layouts. Being able to move "sub-windows" anywhere to customize the layout is great in theory but can be really confusing. Also, the ability to start with the "light" version using a command line argument is not very helpful when Spyder is launched by double clicking or doing "Windows-S Spyder/enter" on Windows - where it is not possible to supply a keyword argument. Being able to essentially hide the other "sub-windows" simply, and have what effectively looks like the "light" version would be also useful.
