A great deal of my day job is supporting students working on layouts. 
Almost every second layout that someone wants advice on is done using 
the autorouter although they have been told to do it manually.

Since they also ignored all advice and documentation on design rules and 
component placement, these layouts are a complete mess.

Therefore a feature that I'd like to see is "select all traces" -> 
"delete all traces" ;-)

All jokes aside: I'd also vote for not investing manpower in autorouting.
