Mint's great so far, but .... two suggestions:

(and correct me / inform me if these functions exist)

1) Allow people to schedule / book future upcoming payments (eg. rent)
2) Create a forward looking analysis looking at accounts vs average spending (to highlight cashflow problems) and potentially pending payments (see above)

I want to be able to say, "given these payments, my account balances, and the average (which may become more accurate over time) spending in my categories, what dollar figure can I estimate I'll have in one, two, six months, or a year, assuming all else equal".

The average spending function is already in (this includes bill payments, I believe) the system. The code would just take current account status and project current income / spending forward.
