Dear Jason
I requested JQuery validation a very long time ago and the answer was that as long as Adobe is still having spry in DW nothing will be changed. But Spry was already dead at that point. Also regarding a new modern data table, the answer was that you were waiting for the JQuery UI table being realized and WA doesn't want to reinvent the wheel. Nothing is happening there for years. Why are there no smaller update/upgrade steps of your products?
Having this suggestion tool now is a nice thing but without feedback from your developers I don't think it's very customer friendly at the end. Why don't you give a feedback on our wishes? Like a "under consideration" or "will be implemented" flag? There are many entries that are similar and good ideas might be lost because user don't vote for them thinking that it's already in a similar suggestion.
I'd be glad to support you (I will make more suggestions) but there should also be a discussion not only a one-way communication. I don't even know if my/our suggestions are being read by the developers by now or how many votes are needed until a suggestion will be implemented.
What about publishing a developer roadmap of the functions that will be implemented? That would be great to have.
But your support is still the best around the internet, keep up the great work ;-) !!
