The Force.com platform is great, but the one thing that I think is lacking is a simple way for developers to create applications that can be configured by end users. What I would really love, would be to be able to leverage the salesforce configuration system for my own applications so that the end user who installs an application can access the configuration for the application in the setup menu without needing any knowledge about apex or visualforce in the same way that they access all the other configurations for salesforce. They would then be able to tweak settings specific to the application for their instance. This would allow developers to build more generic applications that accessed this configuration information without making custom objects to hold the information.
