How about not having to wait 24 hours to download the block chain to be able to use it? How about transfering BTC's being instant instead of waiting 1-2 hours until 6 verifications?
You can download the block chain manually from the archive... but I agree that it would be nice if the client did that for you automatically. ie. on first time start up, get the block chain archive and do a rescan operation, rather than build it block by block from peers. 
Hi,
I guess thats a bit offtopic, but check out the multibit GUI: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/multibit-43616
it uses bitcoinj and downloads only the blockheaders (like the android wallet on my phone) should be much faster to get started.
And the confirmations thing is just the way it is designed, still much better than a bank which can take days.

How about making the UI less Linuxy and more like an Apple UI? Easy to use for everyone. If I have to read a manual/FAQ to figure out how to use it then it is already a failure.

The GUI have not changed much and this is good! If it works then don't fix it!
No that's bad. It means there's a lack of innovation. Everything can be improved.
Look what Skype have become. The free software is less prone to bloating and pokemonization, but examples exist, such as Azureus.

Because current gui is so much fail?
Or better, it work, that's sure but it's just the minimum, much more things can be added (a lot of them already exist but not in the gui also)

The biggest difference is the notes field an ip based transactions.

ah okay so that's 0.2.
when satoshi first introduced bitcoin, did he write a gui?
...or what date was the first gui made?

does anyone have (or could make) screenshots of very early bitcoin client software?
for those of us that just got started this year, were the early versions (pre 0.3) much different in looks/functionality?
i'd be interested to see what the very first ones looked like.
