Great to read a post from a Wasabi developer.
The Wasabi development team have put a lot of effort in to carrying the wallet forward, that cannot be denied therefore the development team deserve a lot of credit. I think manually selecting a coordinator of your choice is a big advantage to have over competitors and the option for manual coin selection to spend is another huge step alongside the other milestones you mentioned.
As zkSNACKs is no longer part of the project, those that abandoned it previously because of the implementation of blockchain analysis will probably return to it at some stage (if they already have not) as they become aware Wasabi Wallet has nothing to do with zkSNACKs.

Wasabi development has been focused on guaranteeing the survival of the wallet almost exclusively since zkSNACKs abandoned the project. This means changing an originally centralized, trusted, client-server architecture to a standalone, trustless piece of software with decentralized services run by volunteers. In other words, the goal is to completely redesign Wasabi's architecture to eliminate central points of failure and protect Wasabi users and volunteers.
However, users need a reason to upgrade their Wasabi clients other than a "better architected" wallet; they would upgrade only if Wasabi has something new and better to offer them than their current version. That's THE reason why Wasabi releases include support for receiving Taproot, Silent Payments, manual coin selection to spend, SLIP39, support for new hardware wallets and others alike—things that are not a priority at all but allow the development to move release after release, removing dependencies from centralized services and achieve eventually the biggest goal.
