A few popular WYSIWYG editors (such as Dreamweaver) keep the cursor position when switching modes from WYSIWYG to source code. It would be awesome if CKEditor could do this!
For example, if you place your cursor in a table cell near the bottom of the page and then switch to source view, your cursor in the source view would be automatically placed inside the <td>...</td> element at the same position and the textarea would be scrolled down to where the cursor is visible (if necessary). In addition, if you place the cursor in source view, then switch to WYSIWYG, the cursor position is also preserved in this case.
Does anyone else wish for this feature?

Re: Usability - Cursor Position when switching modes
This feature is still at the top of my list. It would be nice to even get an indication that this will be worked on at some point in the future. There is some talk about it in the bug tracker for version 3. Apparently someone made at attempt at this but it was invalidated by version 4.
