Hi..
Below is a mockup of what i believe would make the IPO editor animator friendly :)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/2985753729_07bc01ecd1_o.jpg

A:Icons for breaking and merging tangents (clamp/unclamp etc)

B:Field for entering frame number the key is in(doesnt advance time line).,,ie the X value.

C:Value field to enter Y values for the key.

D:Keeping this icon pressed down allows u to scrub on the time line without advancing values on the curve.
This allows u to copy values from one frame to another regardless of if a keyframe exists there or not.(this feature is used a lot in all other anim software and in blender it just a lil tedious to do the same thing).

The rest is pretty self explanatory..
a "W" specials menu to have commonly used options.


Hope it gets someones attention :P and gets implimented...

Thanks in advance

Aligorith has recently started working on this and related issues in a seperate branch animsys2 (https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/branches/animsys2/)

I suggest you try contact him and show your mockups.
