Here six - in priority order:

1. A grid that's at least half as big again as the current version. A 
minimum of a 256 pixels square, ie one pixel per 8 bit division, with a 
nicely anti-aliased curve line... all so you can see what you are doing.

2. Numeric feedback on curve points - in and out values.

3. Ability to nudge selected curve points using the arrow keys.

4. Some form of colour indication so you can immediately see if you are 
working in a specific channel - eg: red curve line in red channel.

5. the option to see all channel cuves in one composite view.

6. Ability to locate a point on the current curve by sampling in the 
comp or layer window.
