As far computing features, i would say the symbolic integration in maxima
needs a lot of improving. Right now, even rational functions are not
integrated. And if you want to convince someone used to Mathematica and/or
Maple to give a try to maxima, one of the first things he will compare in
precisely that (i think symbolic integration is the one of the most
impressive features of a CAS for a newbie).
That first impression would be hard to overcome. That's why i think it would
be good to do some effort in the symbollic integration.
