Python support for custom Editors and Tabs
Creating addons that feel more integrated and professional looking would be a really cool feature I think.
For now I feel like Panel addons are the king. It would be really awesome if we had an option to create addons that resemble Properties Editor or at least be able to add tabs to Properties Editor.

Even if the Possibility is provided for the python devs. the Problem stills exists and would only multiply as it is right now for the N Panel. The addon devs will abuse it as in many will make their separete panels just for one button. This is Illlegal
Animation Nodes creates its own editor. So that one is already possible but I guess it's not easy because otherwise any developer with half a brain would use that area instead of the N panel more often.
There was some talk about this here: devtalk.blender.org/t/how-to-add-a-new-tab-in-the-properties-editor/2954/12
Still it looks like one of those "ye in future" things. It's a shame cause the N panel feels really clustered and well it feels idk amateurish? I don't know why but it gives me Gimp vibes.
Those two options could really ramp up the addons game. I hope this will gain some traction.
