speed... look at c development on an unloaded vax 780 running BSD 4.3...
What I think most programmers would like to see is c development tools 
and environment such as exists in a Unix programming environment.

I personally would like to see the ability to create c code using the text
editor of my choice and then leave the editor (using switcher), going to 
the finder and typing cc filename and with in 30 seconnds I would like to
be able to double click the a.out icon.
