Good work on that list!

I just give an quick overlook on that, I think one thing was not mentioned was the consistency on the edition of parameters.
(For example the way that you insert a value of some type (ex a diameter, or a position) is different depending of the function/dialog.)
One thing that maybe kicad could also implement is a "parameter table" edition. I saw already some EDAs that implement it that way, also, it is easy to first develop a table or tree and just enter manually the values.
Something like this:
http://fossies.org/linux/wxWidgets/docs/doxygen/images/appear-propertygrid-gtk.png

It is not very "user (good looking) friendly" but for other advanced users can be a faster way to edit the options. (Also, it should be easier to match an options table and create a configuration table ui automatically )

My 2 cents.
