I would agree with others about the ability for lme4 to more easily and
flexibly specify the random effect variance-covariance matrix, including
autocorrelation for longitudinal models, as is available in nlme, SPSS, and
SAS.

"What can you do to improve the R ecosystem and how can the R Consortium
help you do it?"
The mixed-model ecosystem is admittedly a small part of the R
ecosystem, but I (biasedly) think it's an important one.
If people have ideas & opinions about how a chunk of money on the
order of $10,000 could be valuably spent to improve the mixed-model
ecosystem in a way that would be appealing to a very broad audience of
useRs, please discuss.
The deadline for submitting a proposal is midnight PST, Sunday October
31, 2018.

Hi Ben,
I do really miss the variance functions of nlme, and the temporal and
spatial autocorrelation handling.
Warm wishes,
Andrew

Personally, I’m trying to duplicate some standard repeated measures
analysis from SAS and am missing Kenward-Roger and Satterthwaite
corrections for nlme. I had some concerns about lmeTest, but I haven’t
looked at that in a while - I’m a bit more concerned with structure error
covariances.

Thankyou.
I would like to see the functionality of nlme and lmer4 combined,
especially
regarding variance-covariance structure.

I assume you mean 'lmerTest' above, the CRAN package originally
mostly by Rune Haubo Christensen
https://cran.r-project.org/package=lmerTest
I think its Satterthwaite (and Kenward-Roger via CRAN package
'pbkrtest') 'df' approximation computations have become quite
reliable, after Rune's recent refurbishing, see also
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/runehaubo/lmerTestR/blob/master/pkg_notes/Satterthwaite_for_LMMs.html
-- as always at least as long as you refrain from fitting much
overparametrized models -- which you should even though some
authors tell you to do so.
