The media changes are a welcome addition, but I can't help but feel Wordpress
is still lacking in the media department quite a lot. One feature I've been
hoping for in terms of media management is folders to organise media instead
of paginating pages of all images being displayed which usually involves
duplicates being displayed. I love Wordpress, but it would be great to be able
to upload specific images for example of dogs into a folder called, "Dogs" and
then being able to browse and manage media in said folder.

It's great to see Wordpress is taking steps in the right direction with every
release. Another wishlist feature would be the integration of the Advanced
Custom Fields plugin straight into the core which allows you to add custom
meta boxes and fields to posts in a tasteful and aesthetically pleasing way.
I'm excited about the future of Wordpress, it's my bread and butter and I
don't see it being beat any time soon.

Re: media, one step at a time. :)

Re: custom fields: This makes little to no sense to be in core, because custom
fields are just that, "custom". There's no point in giving the end user the
ability to make their own meta boxes hooked to custom post meta if there is no
plugin or theme actually using that meta data. Creating a meta box is
something that the theme/plugin should do, because it's actually going to use
the data gained from that meta box.

In other words, the horse goes in front of the cart, not the other way 'round.

WordPress could really change their bad reputation by dropping support for PHP
5.2 in the next release, and requiring 5.3.

This would allow future WordPress developers to namespace their code, and out
allow simple closures withint your code.

As of PHP 5.5, there is no support for a straight mySQL connection. There is
no real downside in WordPress adopting the PDO standard.

Somehow I doubt that we'll decide to drop support for 65.5% of our users
(roughly 26 million websites).
