I like the roadmap, and think the wallet backup/restore feature needs to be integrated quickly. Right now, everyone has to be fairly computer savvy to backup and restore a wallet, seems like this is a feature everyone wants and should just take a couple clicks. Password protecting everything would be a great idea too.
Has anyone else noticed the load time on at least Mac OSX is sometimes incredibly long? 30-60 seconds + before any sort of a GUI pops up? Can whatever is being done be moved to happen after the GUI has loaded? Maybe a progress bar? I've almost force quit the application before, thinking it was locked up.

Crashing bugs, any bug that might result in loss of bitcoins, and security fixes are always highest priority, but here are the big things I think are very high priority that, as far as I know, nobody is working on. I think they all need to be done before we can say we have a "Bitcoin 1.0" :
- finish download-only-blockheaders client mode
- password-protect the wallet private keys (mitigate the steal wallet.dat problem: see https://gist.github.com/803170 )
- import a backed-up wallet
- figure out how to do click-to-pay
- design/implement a secure DNS-like "map string to bitcoin address" system (so I can send bitcoins to "[email protected]")
- export+encrypt part of your balance (for long-term storage; I still waffle on whether we want to encourage that right now)
