add support for dojo toolkit
MVC4 has a great potential for developing RIA applications..
I know that jQuery is most popular js framework and it has a lot of plugins but wouldn't it be a cool thing to have one unified framework for most things (look at dojo uis)?So my suggestion is to add support for dojo toolkit, and create special helpers, validators, etc.
It shouldn't be hard, cause dojo supports html5 params and with that it's even easier to add unobtrusive validation than in jQuery.. just parse page and it magically works!What do you think about that?

Get out of the control business
Don't do the Ajax grid. There's a bazillion of them out there. You're wasting your time. Further, challenge what MVC's mission is and why it has been adopted as widely. Small and tight. Helper functions, YES - controls - NO. Use and/or contribute to jQuery UI. The world does not need yet another damnable grid.

Support asynchronous child actions
Attempting to use a child action that's marked as "async" in its method declaration results in the error message "HttpServerUtility.Execute blocked while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete.".
The lack of support for asynchronous child actions makes it extremely easy to deadlock .NET 4.5 code. For example, assume the child action makes a call to an 'async' function. Since the child action can't use async as well, it's forced to "Wait" on the async task and block synchronously.
By default, async methods attempt to use the synchronization context - which is blocked. This means that child actions calling asynchronous…

Organization of MVC Projects - separating code and content
I'd like idea to organize MVC solutions as described in blog post of Jimmy Bogard: http://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2009/12/09/organizing-asp-net-mvc-solutions/
But in this way I'm lack of MVC tool support.
MVC projects is convention-based, but initially selected convention is not best. For me it is not convenient to have Controllers folder in project, that include all controllers classes (folder very polluted on medium-large site). I agree with Jimmy Bogard about separation of concerns - code and content in different projects (as advised in WPF - xaml files and code in different project).
I think MVC needs to be more tuneable through web-project-settings. Alternatively -…

Release a Metro-UI bootstrap package for the web (mobile + desktop already has Metro-style GUI, web doesn't).
So basically just something like Bootstrap from Twitter. A collection of CSS (preferably LESS) and JS to create a GUI in the style of the Metro GUI on the desktop/mobile. A lot of Microsoft website already embrace the Metro-style, but there is no uniform standard or library available for others who would like to create a Metro-website. I think this is a very good chance for Microsoft.
51 votesIf you build a mobile site using jQuery Mobile we have released a Metro theme for that. See: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/interoperability/archive/2012/04/25/more-news-from-ms-open-tech-announcing-the-open-source-metro-style-theme.aspx.

Improve SelectLists/DropDowns Development
Right now there are a number of difficulties in getting selectlists / dropdowns to simply work right. It's just not intuitive. The top two most-voted issues on CodePlex are both related:
http://aspnet.codeplex.com/workitem/7629
http://aspnet.codeplex.com/workitem/4932Posted on 8/15/2011 at 5:17PM you can find a comment on the first of the above two desribing the pains and my suggested fix. I hope that's helpful.
You can also find ample instances of users having issues with selectlists on the MVC forums (on www.asp.net) and StackOverflow.
Sometimes you need to build interstates and sometimes you need to fix potholes. Please fix this pothole! :)

Better Error Handling Support for 404 AND 500
The built in error handling in ASP.NET MVC is pretty poor. If there -controller- can't be found, we've got a 404. Errors? 500.
These then fallback to the ASP.NET error handling -> customErrors. Which means it -has- to goto an aspx or static page.
AND it does a 302 temp redirect .. before it hits the correct route.
AND it route (in the browser) is really poor. Especially with that nasty query string param, appended ...

So something like this would be really nice :=>1) Allow the customErrors to call an MVC route .. and it's via ResponseRewrite…
