I think this would be a good starting point for SM to make a comeback.

This. Basically there's nothing much wrong with sm5 after we argue for 2-3 days, and while the additions are nice (mostly are developer/themer side... changelogs aren't as exciting for the user as you may think), there's no major advantage of using it instead of 3.95 (or isn't any dealbreaker of keep using 3.95).

Having a better SMO version that meets the basic requirements of an typical online game nowdays (something like osu) would be a nice starting point to say, well this shit is way better than the old 3.95
