Some good points, but I disagree with the following.
- i18n and l10n
For reasons already stated by many others in this HN thread.
- Notifications should be more like email
Please no. I'm already terrified of my email inbox. It's a mess, so many messages. Sometimes I'll leave a message unread or mark it as unread if I want to return to it later but instead it gets buried by newer messages. So now I have a couple of hundred unread emails and I have no idea what they are but they surely can't be important.
Keep notifications how they are. It makes using GitHub stress free. If I read a notification, get rid of it so I never have to see it again. If it was so important, I should remember it anyway or I would have set it as my highest priority and worked on it right away.
- Revamp Inline Editing
Themes? Multiple cursors? Command line? Live linting? ...
No thanks, sounds like feature-creep. I like the editor how it is, nice and simple. Want a full-blown editor? Don't use the web interface.
- Infinite newsfeed
There are reasons why many websites choose not to include infinite scrolling, see [1] for some good reasons.
One thing I'd like to see added to GitHub:
- View all public activity history
There's been many times when I want to look at my own history or someone else's and I can't because it stops after the first page.
