Animations: A "Before next" time setting
If you could trigger an animation before the next animation, you could use them in the end of the slide, as part of the transition.
Currently you are only able to trigger an animation in the start of the slide, as the part of the transition, using the "With previous" time setting.

Add Fishbone (Ishikawa/Cause and Effect) Diagrams to SmartArt
Top level could the be ultimate effect (the head of the fish), second level would be the main ribs of the fish, third level would be sub-causes, forth level would be sub-sub-causes (if possible - three levels would probably be sufficient). I'm looking for automatic fishbone diagram generation and can't find anything on the internet that does it automatically - just templates of people manually drawing them. This seems like such a simple slam-dunk for SmartArt!

Sometimes with bigger text, the data label box is too small to fit the text attractively/properly. It would be very helpful to be able to manually resize the box
