[WindexGlow]

You guys might want to update this; you don't have much of a name in it!
http://tour.frictionalgames.com/

Suggestions:
-Able to create doorways, or other impressions into a selected object. Maya refers to this as "Booleans"
-Real-time rendering using HPL2
-Able to set accustion range of lights and various other properties (including flickering perhaps?)
-Object Editor (Slick interface allows you to define the properties per object, pretty much anything found in the new .ENT filetype)
-GUI interface for scripting (this is probably the second biggest thing you can do to encourage modding)
-Ability to start player anywhere on the map
-Console that can help debug scripts (current HPL scripts simply won't work if you don't do it right)
-Ability to spawn objects using console
-Vertice manipulation
-UV editor that repeats a texture evenly across all selected objects. Include a way for UV to wrap around curved objects?
-Ability for objects to be shown in the level editor scripted (aka: a giant pendolime swinging), sounds playing, and so on

Can you tell us some of the confirmed features this level editor will have? Will it be a direct substitute for Maya/3dMax and other major modeling programs?

AND AHA, I KNEW IT.
