   1. was OpenSource

   2. would *please* switch to modern conventions for Load/Save/Cut/Paste/Undo/Redo/Exit keyboard shortcuts

   3. would have a larger, *online*, library of standard parts instead of having to download every missing ones every time from random obscure places on the internet

   4. had a setting for switching off showing the names of *all* the new components on the circuit

   5. had a vaguely sane way to keep all the .asy and .sym files used by a .asc in the same directory

   6. had a central repo of example circuits / standard circuits

   7. had an API to its spice engine
