what i would really like to see is direct embedding of your choice of local editor directly into the textarea.

Back in the day I was hoping that OpenDoc would provide this, but it was not to be. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some vi and emacs clones evolve out of Bespin and then some Greasemonkey scripting could use them to replace textareas.

It could probably be bookmarkletized (or UserScriptified) fairly easily.
