I sent in my requests and they followed through except for one. Here are the ones I requested...
1. Percentage size that sticks. Every time you opened a PDF, it would go to 40% and now it always starts at 100%.
2. Imposition always started with a weird sheet size. I've asked them if they could give us a default option and they implemented it. Now it imposes automatically at 12 x 18 inches (which is what I set it at). Hooray!
3. Updates, before you had to go to the website to see if there are any updates to the app. They've implemented the update mechanism within the app.
I requested that they make it so that when you drop a PDF onto the icon, it would automatically open up the IW and impose. I don't know if it's too difficult but dang that would be a great little productivity booster.

My own use of something like this is limited to creating booklet-sized brochures, nothing more. It's obvious that IW does so much more and then some at a decent price.
However, if you're looking for something to help with booklets, try BookLightning or FitPlot Booklet maker.
My apologies to all for my earlier comment.

A further plus is that it read and writes PDFs. So far, I have not found PDFs that are a problem for the program. Another plus is that IW writes its own files -- XML files -- that contain all the information about a given imposition. Using the power of "Save" and "Save As..." it it possible to recycle the application files for new imposition projects. The program can also be controlled with AppleScript!
There is room for improvement, but IW is currently only at version 1.2 (June 18, 2009) and will certainly become even more formidable in the future. It is very easy to use, not least because you see instantaneously a preview of the entire imposition. Every change you make in the imposition is shown instantly in the preview. The developer seems genuinely interested in getting feedback from users.
First rate, and highly recommended. Money very well spent.

Holy cow - how can you say that with a straight face?
I'm glad you have deep pockets to buy something that is ten times as expensive as Cheap Imposter and PDF Garden, apps that do the same thing at a mere fraction of the cost of a so-called "Wizard," which sounds like something a PC developer would call his program.
and adding insult to injury: Labeling a $300 program as "shareware" is the height of deception! I've seen packages that were labeled "Commercial" that ran far cheaper than this bit of smoke and mirrors.
