An important aspect of group functionality for me is object sub-nesting. Really useful on ArchViz projects.
I think groups are one of the greatest areas of weakness in Rhino mainly because of the lack of a dedicated object manager so this area could be a real win for Moi from a UX perspective. It's a pity that MoI doesn't utilise contextual commands as group functionality is often managed most intuitively via contextual menus within the viewport but it would be great if you could find a modifier key (or something similar) that would allow for more management stuff to be done within the viewport in future versions of MoI.
The OS X beta of Rhino has moved away from the right click = 'action command' design pattern (and is all the better for it IMHO) although it still allows the space bar to be used for entering commands (a good compromise to my mind). The extra functionality you get via a selection of contextual commands being available via the right click is something I now miss when using the Windows version of Rhino.
Just a few loose thoughts for V4 and beyond. I'm sure the real design challenge in all these future functionality developments will be to not dilute the intuitive, fluid user experience that MoI currently provides.
