Here are some things I've been wanting for a while, but I had a hard time trying to convince WC and Gary of adding. Maybe that'll jog some thoughts.

* Sprite snapping. You know how walls and fences are a real pain, because you have to line them up exactly? My idea is to have a 'snapping' mechanism, which would automatically 'snap' the sprite to the correct place when you're close to it (say within 50 pixels). Of course, this feature would be easily toggle-able, because snapping can often be evil.

* Improved 'library' function, based on WDE's not-often used (at least by me) capability to store and retrieve sprite settings.

I have other ideas, but I can't really think of them now.

Edit: oh and maybe tile-painting, so you can just move your mouse around to make a lake/river, instead of placing the tiles individually.
