Please understand that new interfaces help little without applications using them. Hopefully software should be build in such a way that it runs optimally regardless of the hardware it is running on. That some datatypes exist only for specific CPU types is IMHO not a very wise development - ideally, you should grab your harddisk, install it on another Amiga, and it should be working. That's not given if software is CPU-bound.
True-Type support you get today. It's in Aminet, and it works. Nothing to be done.
If you want "screen notify", then you need applications to cooperate. The same goes for pen handling. Who will update existing applications?
For more powerful commodities, there are surely plenty in Aminet. I consider the operating system as the "Ford Escord" solution. It's brings you reliable from A to B, and that's it. If you want very sophisticated solutions, then that's better left to third parties.
