I can think of few things that would deliver a higher ROI than having input filter and display format properties for fields.

Very few apps *don't* need those, and for all the ostensible "ease" of programming with LiveCode, once newcomers see how tedious it is to have to hand-craft solutions for these sorts of things that so many other tools have built-in, it's kind of a turn off.
