1)One GUI tweak that would be a great toggle is to disable the
'gradient-izing' of the wires coming out of selected components.  On
really long wires, the green goes away completely by the time it hits
the respective input and output components, and it's hard to tell
what's connected in a big file.

2)Another *minor* tweak would be recognizing the 'Enter' key as the
confirmation of a value set in the different dialogue boxes (setting
integers, changing a value in a slider dialogue, text in a note,
etc.).  I find myself clicking the little "Commit Changes" button
constantly and it just feels a bit finicky.

3)The snapping/alignment tools should be just like in most layout
software (not sure if this is too hard to do at the moment, but as an
ideal toolkit):
For a bounding box enclosing each selected component, one could do the
following to those items (relative to each other):
-align left edges
-align right edges
-align top edges
align bottom edges
-align centers (vertically)
-align centers (horizontally)

-distribute (centers, top edges, bottom edges) evenly between top and
bottommost selected
-distribute (centers, left edges, right edges) evenly between left and
rightmost selected

4)The ability to drag and drop a component onto another one and
replace it would work great if there was someway of manually
rearranging the wires going in.
Just in general, if there were a toggle button for each component that
"unplugged" it, so the ends of the in and out wires disconnected but
the wires themselves stayed intact (maybe the tips move a small
distance away from the component and the box is shaded yellow or
something so you know it's 'unplugged').  Then you could re-arrange
the ends of the wires however you wanted (without needing to generate
new ones all the time), and 'plug' it back in (flip the component's
toggle again) reconnecting the wires in their new configuration.

5)Panning while dragging a wire tip or component (zooming on the
cursor is good, but panning would be a nice addition).

5) I would give up all of the above and more for an undo/redo command.

6)maybe you're tired of hearing it, but this is already an amazing
piece of software. I can't wait to see what's in store as you develop
future revisions.

Best,
