Here's a more complete version of mine, in no particular order:

    Scripting support - The ability to pass packet information
    to a scripting language for further processing.

    Custom packet list widget - This would allow us to reconfigure
    columns on the fly, and possibly improve memory management.

    Custom byte/data view widget - I'd like to improve the selection
    behavior at the very least.

    Native Windows UI

    Native MacOS X UI

    Unified filter syntax

    Asynchronous DNS lookups

    Separate capture and display processes - Something similar to
    OpenSSH's privilege separation.  Not sure if this is possible or
    worthwhile under Windows.
