i feel this one is an important one.
---1) burrowing was rarely used, and there was a disincentive to utilize it on top of that. to have burrowing be more encouraged in SC2, will the default command for "u" be to unburrow rather than burrow? . In BW, if a patch of burrowed units got discovered and attacked, it would be impossible to unburrow all of them and enegage/run because the default command for a group of mixed units was to unburrow rather than burrow. so what happens is instead of evacuating, the units that are getting hit just end up reburrowing, and your entire group dies. , kind of like for cloaking? or will there be two separate hotkeys for burrow and unburrow (cloak/uncloak)
seriously, if they leave the default command as burrow, or don't differentiate hotkeys, i am going to spam their forums like no other....
---2) will certain commands still be removed when selecting heterogenious types of units? for example, a medic + vessels would remove the heal command, which is bad. selecting lurkers with any other unit would remove the attack command!!! (please, we're trying our best to be gosu, but the system is against us!)
---3) there has been many requests for a rewind feature for replays. this, as pointed out by other SC2 awaiting forum goers, would be quite difficult. Then i realized if there was a "quick reload" feature, then we could just simply fast forward to the part that just passed by WITHOUT having to quit game, wait, create game, select replay, wait for th ecount down and wait. a simple "quick reload" that bypasses all this would be much simpler to implement than figuring out how to rewind and reverse the entire game that is being "replayed".
---4)" A reasonable, sensible grid. Why do some buildings block perfectly on some sides, and others on other sides, and others on no sides at all? PvZ FE building placement shouldn't take extensive testing, a configuration that looks right should block right. This also helps with the building unit trapping thing." a uniform "building code" would be nice.
---5) " If you build something on another unit, it'll move away, like comsats. Motherfucking goddamn MY FACT NEEDS A SHOP MOVE YO FAT SCV ASS WORKING ON THAT OTHER FACT" quite a sensible observation. - let addons take precedence over units and simply have the units move out of the way when you build an addon, much like how scv's scatter after u clump them together on one mineral.

1 and 5 are already fixed in wc3, so they are pretty much guaranteed to be fine in sc2. Subgroups "fixed" the first one, because you can give the order to only the burrowed or only the unburrowed units. Subgroups are the answer to 2 as well, you can tab between the different unit types and use their abilities.

).. What is the reasoning for not makeing workers wait in place, until enough minerals to construct something in the que is achived, contra cancelling their que and makeing the worker idle? It would seem that if your view is that waypoint building will in most part only be handy to newcommers, there is no reason for it to be limited by the economy either?
