intellisense/autocompletion is of course big but requires some introspection into the project and mono assemblies which is tougher to do with Eclipse that it is with monodevelop (which runs within a mono vm) and 1-4 should be done before it is attempted.
If you run Eclipse inside IKVM it could load mcs.exe as an assembly and call into it directly to do the C# parsing. (ie, it *could* run within a Mono VM).
I don't know whether we want to limit intellisense to only working if Eclipse is running inside IKVM, though. A bridge to the CLR from a generic JVM using only JNI but providing the same capabilities as IKVM, compatibly, would be the holy grail ;)
(With regard to your main point, I don't think that anyone would dispute that getting the basic, minimum features working is a higher priority than the advanced flashy ones, but the question originally asked sounded a lot like "what features do you want?". It's unsurprising that the answers focused on advanced features. "I want it to *work*" is kind of implied...)
