People wanted Alt+Tab to be a standard in FFXI, too. Same with distance markers, displayed recast timers, etc, etc, etc.
With a large overhaul and a roadmap underway, you're likely going to have to wait until 2.0... And you're likely going to have to use an add-on.
Fact is, community will always be one step ahead of the developers, this has been proven copious times with WoW's add-ons, and Yoshi recognizes the integrity of the community and is willing to step into this area of allowing player created add-ons.
So yea, you can expect to hear the inevitable "Why don't you have this add-on?"
