I agree. I like it too! However, I also have two "things". Here are my two:

1. When in SDB, hitting F10 to see the "output" window gets you there with 
no way back to the debugging window, except for clicking on the
window-to-back gadget. (Yeah, I know... nothing can be done about it except
to turn off dmouse (no! not that!). I also can live with it.).

2. The other is also in SDB: while debugging, the hotkey is apparently being
trapped before dmouse ever sees it. I suspect it's just a function of
priorities. 

All in all though, Matt, my vote is *not* to change anything. After
all, you've given them the source, and they can add the features they
want. (Yes, I have my flameproof suit on. I know lots of folks may not
know how to add the features they feel they "need". But thats part of
the fun of computers as a hobby: learning by doing.) I've seen
too many cases of code which was originally useful, but grew to such a
behemoth that they were unuseable, unreasonable and unsupportable. I like it
just as it is!.
