I can dream of lots of things that they can't do.  There are several features I
have specifically asked the professional programs to provide, which most still
do not provide.

If they have chess programs 1000 Elo above the current batch, I imagine I will
enjoy them even more, but it will take me a month to understand a single move on
those rare occasions when I "get it."

More features, stronger, better database systems, better analysis, better human
understandable descriptions, network team functionality, tournament scheduling
and operation.  Probably, that's the tiniest tip of the iceberg.

The end of progress does not come.  Rather, progress constantly accelerates.
