Compiz is getting more and more users because it is often the selling point that wins them over. The new compiz settings in the appearance dialog is nice, but emerald themes belong in there too.

eSATA is getting fairly popular. Many of the higher end drives at the local electronic stores sell support eSATA. I myself have an eSATA drive and an eSATA port on my motherboard, but sadly I must still connect to the drive over USB because eSATA isn't supported (at least not well enough for my devices to work). More eSATA support and drivers please!!!

While ubuntu gets more user friendly for new users with every release, there are still a lot of times when users must open up a terminal to get a bit of work done. Istalling some packages if they use a loki installer for ex. Or doing some low level configuration to get that one piece of obscure hardware working. Why not make the shell experience more user friendly for people when they must use it. I'm talking better syntax highlighting so you know if you spelt a command or filename wrong. More complete tab completion for filenames and command line options. These are all features of Fish, the friendly interactive shell. I don't do shell scripting, but when I do need to use the CLI, fish makes thw experience much more painless.
