I would move halve my trading and cash there. The competition - in terms of price, reliability and redundancy of both exchanges - would be great for traders.
GLBSE were great in the beginning but I am becoming less and less convinced they should remain the sole exchange now.
Competition is good for everyone, it gives buyers of services alternatives and drives sellers of services to do better.
How much trouble would it be to make a new exchange?
I would trade on a new exchange as well as GLBSE, if it is made well. I suppose I could easily set up a new fund to do like LIF.A and trade shares on your new exchange as soon as it gets set up.
Anybody who has a company on GLBSE: if a new exchange opened up and promised to be more reliable, would you move your company there?

down again?
Yes. Site loads, but stays at "Refreshing..." when you try to view portfolio.
I can ping glbse.com, but it won't load in my browser.
It's down.
The whole site "https://glbse.com" is down for me right now. Am I the only one? My internet has been having issues.
Edit: What is "http://companies.herokuapp.com/"
?

http://companies.herokuapp.com/ is the glbse site that glbse.com forwards to. Looks like their DNS is having some issues.
I don't know that a new centralized solution is needed/wanted. If we want a centralized stock exchange, just improved/maintain GLBSE. I think a decentralized, peer-to-peer solution would be a step in the right direction though. Just my opinion though. I too am a software developer, and it would be quite interesting to be involved with either solution.
I'd be willing to research(extra security options) and program the website.
I don't think centralization is the problem. the problem lies with a poor business model. It seems their business model is goaled directly at only security. Thats not a bad thing at all - in fact far from it.
But a business can not survive on just security alone.
It needs
constant maintenance,
Easily modifiable code for quick changes,
Q/A team for website and public view of the services onions and frustrations.
and most importantly and easy to use interface that is highly verbose.

Yes, but they have not responded to anyone in 3 weeks? Have they just given up on it?
I want to keep supporting the GLBSE, but nefario boycotting this site makes it difficult.

GLBSE worked for me about 8 hours ago, but now it's down again. 
i would be very open to moving.
I'm not sore sure I would be. GLBSE has a good security model. They (he?) just seem to need some help keeping bitcoind up or whatever the issue is.
I'd prefer seeing the GLBSE "managment issues" fixed and someone (or more than one) make a better web interface or improve the existing one (it's not bad, just needs a few improvements in my mind)
Good idea. We should start a thread on that so it can be discussed.

I think the effort should be put into a decentralized stock exchange, not another autonomous one. One where the tickers, issues, portfolios, contracts, etc are all kept in a blockchain type system. The entry nodes are merely market makers much like the real stock exchange, you could also route your orders through a preferred market maker etc.. Your portfolio, balance, etc is not actually stored on any of the sites, but in the blockchain unlocked only by your private key. There is obvious logistics issues to work out here, but I think through the use of PKC and the blockchain system, it is all doable.
For a decentralized stock exchange, one could consider basing it on Open-Transactions:
