It doesn't have to be competition, hell, it could be cooperation! I would love it if they were able to take some of the patches DW's made, like the one that adds the preview button to QuickReply. They can! It's open source!

I know that as time goes by, that's going to get harder and harder with how much DW is changing the codebase, but right now I sure have a couple wishes for "please take this!"
