Without real financial backing for proper marketing,

In addition, the users are just as demanding as ever. "You should fix

frustration ;-)

I can understand that fine. All we can give you here is some ideas of what would make the tools more attractive to us and other potential users - it is entirely up to you to decide whether you want to implement them. For example, making a windows port is essential if you want to reach a wide user group - something like 90% of potential users will drop out as soon as they fail to find windows binaries on the download page (and that applies even to users like me who also use linux). But do you really want to make such a port? That's another question - if all it means is more work for your current developers, and more support on your mailing lists, then it is worse than useless to you. If it attracts new developers, or at least new contributors of libraries and examples, or even some sort of financial backing, then it's a different matter.
