-Live Relaoding (such a haslte building app again and again)
-Drag , drop code creation (similar to Swift UI for less time spent on ui through code)
-Need Attributes and Palette Window support for composables as well with drag drop
-All recycler view features in Column, Row Widgets

Live reloading I can imagine it's a high demand feature. For the most part I just make everything without seeing any preview as you can simply guess what the UI looks like by writing code. If I use column and two text fields I know I'll have two text fields below each other. I only preview my UI every 15 minutes or so
No idea what you mean with palette window
Yes I'd like to see more advanced features built-in the LazyRow/Columns just like SwiftUI. Then again Compose gives freedom whereas SwiftUI is like “this is how you're supposed to do it”.
