I would like to fully endorse Andrew Weighell comment above about being able to add a comment in each element entry. This would be an invaluable feature.

One of the trends on fast track projects is that the checking of stress analysis is left to the tail end of the project in an attempt to get the deliverables out the door faster. This means that quite often calcs are left for months before they are checked and even the engineer who did the calc can not remember all the reasons for the assumptions made. This feature would save time and add integrity to Caesar II analyses.

To pick up on the graphical input thread above…. DON’T DO IT!... my personal experience with some of the programs referenced above is that, yes the geometry may be a bit easier to input to start with, but adding the rest of the data is a lot harder and prone to error than the Caesar spreadsheets and lists.
