As we know, there's tons of stuff, that is awaiting in GMS2 to be implemented.
Lot of it is on official roadmap: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022211472
But there's much more on mantis - 417 (if you reset all filters and switch to "GM Suggestions on top right of page).
Most of them is not implemented, because there's not enough manpower to implement them, they need to much time to implement, have no sense from business point, or are just "cool" things only for developer comfort rather than giving really new possibilities.
But... what if GM Community can sponsor those addons, tossing some money to YYG using some service like Patreon? Among those who will sponsor, there would be voting phase which features should be implemented first, and then additional developer would sit on those "community wishes" part, separate from normal roadmap and core-team tasks.
I am, from my side able to pay 10-20$ every month for whole year without problems, to get features implemented.
I can't say the name, as forum rules forbids it, but one of GMS competitors get about 9000$ monthly this way - that should be enough to get 2-3 persons to work on "community wishes". A some of them are IDE-only, it should be possible to finish as much as 50-100 wishes per year. Even if I'm too optimistic, for sure there would be lot of them.
