Part of the answer is here:

From my point of view, making the sm client have all the features osu! have, it would seriously expand the community really quick, new motivation for old players, making people want to try the game, and the stepmania community will once again flourish.

With this feature (and it is possible), we would attract new and old players to try once again their skills at Stepmania, share information regarding playing styles and their pros and cons, share and compare scores, organize friendly tournaments for people to see if they're improving.

Also, since it's a new full Stepmania forum, we would focus on everything, from stepping to playing skills enhancing. Remember those two ideas of "Adopt a Stepman" and Stepmania classes regarding various segments, like xmodding, Color Theory and Fun Theory, posted here on FFR prior to the big crash? Well, I'm thinking about bringing this new idea back to life, and we'd need the help from you and other stepartists like Kommisar, Gundam-Dude, who_cares973, and old author like Arch0wl, if he's stil interested in stepping singles and/or helping Stepmania community. Bringing new people to the stepfile scenario, we can produce more packs, and hit more players.

And, as Stian said, the community only has to win if everybody, from stepauthors to even build coders, work together. People always complained about the community being dead, inactive, but now we have one more chance to bring it back to life. And honestly, Patashu, since you're a great step artist, your help would be appreciated.
