Two feature requests -

1.) A way to insert a few simple premade primatives such as a box,
    sphere, torus, and cylinders. This would help speed up some
    aspects of object development.

2.) Combine the object modelling with surface subdivision - but you
    have probably already thought of that already haven't you.

Another feature request:

To be able to add noise/dents/waves to an existing mesh

The ability to import a drawing, say bmp, as a background so that modelling
can be worked from, compared to it.
