Software stability, meaning that the darn beloved thang doesn't crash out of every other process.

This is clearly Job One. Only then comes usability.

Speed and ease of use May 10

Speed and ease of use, and these two things often go hand in hand. I don't want to have to wait 5 seconds for search results to start appearing, or wait half a second for fuzzy matches to appear. And when I move to the next segment, the cursor must be there immediately, and in a predictable location in the segment. I translate and review fast -- I can't abide systems that require me to waste precious fractions of a second.
