Products I wish existed: 1) Dynamic relational databases. They wouldn't be too different from existing RDBMS, unlike the "noSql" products, yet allow dynamism.

HTML/DOM/CSS/JS keeps sucking for that, after 2 decades of trying. Focus a standard on GUI's and only GUI's so that it's done right for once. Java applets & Flash failed because they got feature-happy, making them buggy and security risks. 3) A hybrid file system and database to serve as intranet CMS's. One should be able to put documents into a folder and have the folder automatically be displayed in a "nice" listing or menu of links (to view or open documents), along with folder tree navigation features. Additional attributes could allow finer control, such as document synopsis, author name or ID (cross-reference), and thumbnails or icons. As things are now, one is pretty much forced to use either a file system or a CMS for many intranet-ish things. Merge the concepts.
