Is Blogger ever going to be updated?

For the last year I have been using the (free) blog tool, Blogger, to manage this blog. I like the tool. It's simple, straight forward, publishes to my michaelsica.com FTP server, provides commenting ability, a XML feed of my blog, and has about 20 themes for the L&F of my blog.

But the only thing I've noticed Blogger add in the entire year I've used the service is the spam-reducing word verfication feature of the commenting section, and a dashboard widget (which doesn't have enough features for me to use as a blogging tool).

I'm not sure what else they've done.

Is anyone even working on this product anymore?

Here are a few things I'd like to see.
  • Trackbacks! Why don't we have these?
  • More themes! I'm bored of the existing ones!
  • I have a really really really hard time putting code samples into the the "Compose" box. Help!
I guess you get what you pay for...
