If you could go back in time before GS2 and change any one thing about it, what would it be? Compatibility with old code is not a problem—even a change as drastic as strict typing is acceptable for this exercise. Ideally they will be entirely language-related and not things such as documentation, version control, etc.

My one thing:
I would make objects use a strict class system, and make it easy for scripters to edit these object classes. There would be a list of scripts much like the NPCs list for object classes (not related to classes now). These classes would have constructors, and support inheritance. All object types (such as GuiScrollCtrl) would work in this fashion (although they would not appear in this class list) and could be extended by objects. I could make a class called GuiIPhoneScrollCtrl which extends GuiScrollCtrl and has iPhone-like scrolling.
