One that I would actually be willing to write (I think), depending upon 
the interface, is a context help system.

Another thing that has been lacking for a long time, is flexibility in 
action chains.  There should be a "new customer"/"new vendor" button on 
invoices, just as there is already a "sales invoice" button on add 
customer screens.
This may be more controversial, but similarly I have always wanted to be 
able to add an expense account from AP transactions.

I think also that we discussed on list, the value of having a COA with 
accounts that exist or not based upon the date.  That is: if you have an 
account that only needed to exist in 2002-2005, and has no further 
value/will never be used again, you should be able to remove it from the 
COA after 2005 closes, and its value is zeroed.  You should still be able 
to see it on historical reports, but other than that it should be able to 
go away.
That requires a lot more COA logic than we have now, of course.
