Those're interesting apps, sure, but not even close to being at the top of my list.
I want:
Terminal/ssh
Remote Desktop (how cool would that be, using your iPhone as an iTunes/VLC remote via wifi)
and, of course,
iChat
As soon as I saw that those weren't included features, my interest in the thing dulled from a burning desire to more of a persistent throb.

It appears that you need an ADC account.
If you can't be bothered to set up your free account, you might consider leaving your feedback here instead:

VLC has a web interface you can set up to control with. iTunes has a number of third part options. I personally like Remote Buddy's AJAX interface.

Yes, all the things you ask for are things I would really use in an iPhone. Now, regarding this:
(how cool would that be, using your iPhone as an iTunes/VLC remote via wifi)
Well, apparently you can actually do that now. [iospirit.com] Of course it's not a "native" application, but it may be worth a try. (I don't have an iPhone so I haven't tried it yet).

The main thing I'd want is a freaking Stickies application, to sync with the one on my desktop. That's all. I just want to be able to put text on the device as easily as everything else they support.
I don't want to set up and bookmark a wiki. I don't want to set up a special IMAP account to hold notes. I don't want to add the notes as lyrics to a song. Just make my stickies show up so I can read them, without me doing any hackery or workarounds. That's all.

How could any list of demanded applications for the iPhone not include some sort of non-SMS text chat client? Incredible.
Capturing video with the camera and uploading it to YouTube would also be nice, as the article noted, but I don't know if I'd be so grandiose as to call it iMovie.
I'd like to see enhancements to existing apps first, myself. Such as:
1. Pick your ringtone from the iPod music list
2. Multiple calendar support for the calendar. When adding an event on the phone, it winds up post-sync in the "US Holidays" calendar on iCal, whereupon it promptly disappears the next time that calendar is synced.
3. OTA calendar/contact sync using .Mac. Why should I have to wait to dock it?
4. Change the SMS icon to an iChat icon and make SMS just one of several supported protocols. While you're at it, add SMS support to regular MacOS X iChat - with some sort of gateway service. Even if it's one-way only (what would your SMS "address" be on a desktop computer?), it would be helpful.

Because lots of us hardly use SMS at all and have no use for it?

You can select which calendar iPhone added items go onto, mine end up in "Outlook" (along with my work calendar)
3. OTA calendar/contact sync using .Mac. Why should I have to wait to dock it?
I'd kind of like that, though it would be hard to make it work with Outlook for most people. More reasonably I'd like iCal to sync to .Mac which could then sync OTA to the iPhone, which would make .Mac more useful (and if it would sync my keychain, way more useful still!).
4. Change the SMS icon to an iChat icon and make SMS just one of several supported protocols.
Since I never use any of them, that would be an excellent change I think. :-) In all seriousness, I like the grouping.
