Great! Can we know the reason of the switch please?

This is not possible yet, but I add it to the "Maybe someday" task list.

I know, I've recorded every usability issue and plan to fix them when  
I have some time. Admin was revamped screen after screen, without any  
coherence (which sucks, because designing UI is my job)

It's planned, don't worry

I know, it's a bug, and it will be fixed in the next release.

Unfortunately, the 2 most active mainteners are french, and we're  
blogging in French. I plan to blog about Typo in english too so that  
people can follow me. You can follow my thoughts on http://t37.net/category/typo/ 
  through google translate or Yahoo! pipes if you want. Cyril's blog  
is blog.shingara.fr.

You're welcome
