Having confirmed that I don’t know any FWP users with less than 10 major upgrade wishes, I’d like to step back and point out that there are probably many more minor updates which are no less important.
For example…
I wish that the pasteboard area of master pages would be light grey or yellow or some other color that would give me an instantaneous visual understanding that I am working on the Master and not the Child page which remarkably resembles it. My own iterative process of Adjust, Force Republish, Publish, Preview, Repeat at complex stages of site development would be more productive without having to pause every time to work out where the hell I am (you cannot force a republish from a master page, but the process is long enough that I forget to go back to the amazingly similar looking master page and end up making wasteful edits in the wrong place.
I can count numerous times I have updated a child page and thought it was a master…. several words later…. then updated the master…

To be honest there is not one thing I would like that was on the list, here are just a couple off the top of my head without even thinking and I do appreciate these might not be the thoughts of most people:
More undos.
‘Do not publish’ option for pages.
Fix the buggy fields in the inspector (Text selection).
Fix the buggy mark-up items where pasting text is actually pasted in white at times!
Strip styles from text pasted in markup items (The above is not because of this as text could be copied from BBEdit).
Stop the auto creation of matching styles.
Stop auto combining styles while creating a new one!
Syntax colouring and tabbing in markup items.
There would be many other if I stopped to think about them
