Guido, I'm really interested in your perspective here. I assume you hear far more "average" complaints from Joe Random User. Can you help give the rest of us an idea about the top 10 complaints/problems people have? I realize this will be subjective, that's ok. Perhaps we should try to focus our energies on some of these issues.

For the impatient, he's not at all bothered about the lack of obscure language feature X.

cheers
