i'd say the following things are what i hear the most (some of them are 
mine, also):

- a built in editor is needed. most people seem to be confused by the 
fact that PC doesn't have a built in editor. i'm sure it's because most 
people would choose to use vi, emacs, nedit, or something else, but it 
would certainly make it a bit more "integrated."
- a plist editor of some kind would be _really_ helpful. it would make 
working with the Info.plist and other files much easier. check out 
PropertyListEditor.app on Mac OS X for a good (but not complete) example.
- better support for multiple build styles ala Project Builder
- possibly a target editor (again, ala Project Builder) that would set 
the proper GNUmakefile variables
- tight integration with Gorm (class dragging / dropping)

of course, i haven't used PC in awhile, so some of these features may 
have been added (last i used it was about 1 month ago). PC does have 
some really good features... keep up the good work.
