Cherries on top?

nope, X is top of the list on top for me.

To carry on this discussion, what is the first thing on top for you? (top itself doesn't count)

t..to..task manager!
And some tend to have weird sorting orders anyway...

Well X ofcourse is my top priority too.
However I would like a textclient like nethack/adom in addition for all us command line junkies.
It would also probably get more people into CF and server admins could bind the textclient to a port and get telnet junkies playing on the servers (this is a huge market... maby because the RPGers don't have to download anything... concequently some website based RPGs are also massive).

A nice textclient (think adom (which is nethack style but better)) would allow a server admin to have players telnet to his server (if he bound the client to a port) if that is what players wished to do... and believe me alot of players like telnet alot.

Also command line junkies like me would love a text client.
If one char per tile it too limiting we could make 3x3 or 4x4 ANSI tiles... I would help with that because I've been doing ASCII art for some while (look at gpcslots2 and RPG1 at https://cat2.dynu.ca/cat2/programs.html ).
