I'm glad to see some people are interested in putting forth ideas. 
I know a lot of people would benefit from having the window 
drawing code redone so that horizontal/vertical splits can be 
achieved in a manner akin to vim.  Also mouse support would be a 
great feature.  Setup mousewheel to scroll back through each 
window's scrollback buffer as opposed to the terminals buffer.  
Allow mouse clicking of hardstatus/caption lines, and linking 
entities such as window name to changing current window.

Just mentioning some stuff I've heard discussed in the past.
