Hi Jason, I think the number one feature I would like to see is eMovie incorporated into the standard build of PyMOL. The built in movie making facilities in PyMOL may be powerful but the scripting is a bit beyond those of us "biologists who use computers" especially if one is trying to make longer and more involved movies. eMovie is a really nice and easy to understand interface that is only spoiled by how buggy it is (especially on a Mac where it seems to disagree violently with the video card/chips).
Secondly, more and more academic structural biologists use Macs - at the recent British Crystallographic Association winter meeting ten out of twelve speakers used Macs. If Mac support is decreased it will stop being used by academics. Finally, although I understand the reasons for PyMOL being sold to Schrodinger, I have to admit I was disappointed as in the past I have found Schrodinger singularly unhelpful in making their software available free(ish) to academics. I really really hope that all the great stuff in PyMOL isn't stolen for other applications whilst PyMOL itself is left to wither away.
