When I say multi-use widgets I mean widgets that can be added more than once, like the text widget.

I thought the post templates were simple enough to achieve and there wasn't a massive benefit, but then it is such a simple change they could probably have added it more quickly than it will take to consider the results suggesting they do or don't.

As far as what I'd like to see most from that list:

- Improve performance (wp is really slow without super cache), not sure if this can ever be fixed in WP with the way things are.
- openID in core
- improved search function
- Post templates/post types (this would be really useful indeed but isn't so hard to do now if you use the category as a conditional)

Also interesting to see that they propose the add the DB backup plugin again, after removing it previously.

Even the most basic of them takes about 5kb of code and is just plain messy. Just making things easier for developers overall would help push WordPress to being a better platform.
