I've only been using OG for a couple of months, and I reallly like it. I guess there will always be two directions OG can evolve into: (1) as illustration tool, and (2) as diagramming / wireframing / prototyping tool. I use it for the latter, and many of the features you mention seem more relevant to the first direction, which for me would be a distraction.

That said, I've also made feature requests for general usability improvements. It's important for such incremental improvements to have as much priority as new features. (Too rarely the case in application design.)

Personally, I'd like some more features to aid in wireframing, especially master shapes -- where I can design one widget and reuse it across the document, and change it globally.
