I would love to be able to set the paper size instead of winging it, I know I can mark it out and then remove it but it would be so much easier and quicker... more intuitive.
Also it would be nice to be able to have a grid that "floats" over the top of your images. So that it's more acurate when you are laying out a design. I like to cut right into my page, so I can slip other colors of paper behind it and give it a reverse layered look or cut out a slightly smaller rectangle so my photos go behind the page instead of on top. It's hard to get them lined up exactly where I want them. A floating grid would be really nice, having it as an option would be great so that you could use it or not.
I love this program, but I'm so used to working in a full scale graphics program that it's hard to go back to "guessing" where I want things. Also, the ability to rotate the whole mat so that you are looking at it how you would view it your scrapbook would be nice. I can't tell you how many sheets of cardstock I've wasted because I forgot I was looking at it sideways.

Re: Paper Size and Grid views
Yes I would also see a "Snap to Grid" feature as well as when rotating by Holding down the Shift button it will Rotate Snap to 45 degree increments. Makes it useful when you just need to rotate something either 90 degress or do a 180 flip. Saves time from going to the properties feature and typing it in.
