Things that I miss with yours:
1 possibilty to add original writer (or source) (Cinq's vbarticles)
2 a physical "you've rated this article" feature (like v3articles)
3 the 'Media' display of the attachments. (v3articles)
4 First attachment to be used as illustration image for the featured article (v3articles)
5 option to feature an article (v3articles)
6 option to add summary of article that will be used (along with the first attachment) as featured/random article on forumhome.

Are there any chances that features like this can be expected for your (good already) mod?

If you're using vbadvanced CMPS, I think a separate hack could take care of most of these. #5 already exists for vbadvanced/geekarticles for #6 I have a hack on my news forum that will clip the summary display at the word
-MORE- and give you a summary, so that is doable, and I have last image posted working, so it wouldn't be hard to do #4 at all to get the first. I don't know what #3 Media display is. #2 sounds like it could be doable with a template modification, maybe just a bit more. Looking forward to #1 myself.
