While these added mobs and things are cool...
MOD API IS MORE IMPORTANT
I love my mods too much and won't touch any new versions until my favorite mods are moved to that version. And that usually takes forever... especially now that updates for the game are coming out so often...
Mojang is reminding me a bit of apple. Get upgraded to death. Mods can't keep up. I still miss aether.

"We will be adding a mod API and Adventure game mode as an actual game mode
SERIOUSLY, MOJANG?
Yes, they're serious. If you watched the PAX video they mention they have to rewrite the rendering engine and that's not a one day job.
Did you not see Dinnerbone try to fix these bugs? It was working until like a million bugs came and lag issues... Come on, don't be like that.

They fixed the edge problem with the "b" snapshot but there's a dupe bug because of that, also like you said it's WIP. this is very functional for a WIP block.When you say that hoppers should take items from all sides then I don't think you know how hoppers work in real life, it's basically a funnel which only takes it from above. People complain that these things are too complicated but some are complaining that they aren't complicated enough, just be thankful we have a block that does this.

It's 2 on the number pad. The controls are very confusing...
It's a pretty good game but no variety and also the zombie is just a reskinned Steve... They even have the same special and winning animation.

Yes, but sometimes I get impatient waiting for them to breed and do the other method. You can always make villager farm as well by adding a lot of doors. Basically anything with walls and a door is considered a house. They also need sunlight so you can't make the underground unless you make a hole on top.

It was never promised that it would be released in a certain version, just estimated. Every single time they "push it back" is because they find a new obstacle, things like the new decorations and witches aren't very hard to code. They also have other people working the mod api as well, Grumm is working on the rendering engine and EvilSeph on the api. You you check on Dinnerbone's twitter he's talking about the currently in development rendering engine and how it will fully support HD textures. You may not like the features, but many people do especially since most of these things were requested from the community. The developers delivered but the people complained.

If you remember from when minecraft was in beta and Notch updated is blog every so often, I remember he talked about after minecraft was fully released. The main plans after the official 1.0 update were basically add some free stuff from time to time and add purchasable DLC; of course we that wouldn't really work because of mods. Today we're getting updates major updates every couple of months even after the 1.0 update, considering they were meant to be extensions, everything after 1.0 should be if you don't like it then don't update it.
There's also another thing I'd like to state for people complaining that minecraft is becoming too mod-like. During alpha and beta, minecraft development was mainly focusing on working out functionality. Things like crafting, combat, mining, redstone, etc. That's why whenever there was a new update, everything would seem so major. With these updates pass 1.0 there isn't much you can add although some people may argue but it would make updates have more bugs due to new systems; this is what alpha and beta is for. New functions also aren't really needed because we mostly have these mechanics that minecraft should have. Redstone, crafting, combat, smelting, repairing, are really what we need and we can expand on that. Adding more would just make the game to complicated and remember when the exp system was introduced? Complete disaster, but much improved. The new stuff just expand on the current systems to add more variety, for example anvils with repairing. Hence if you don't like these extensions then don't update because they aren't completely necessary.
To be honest, the updates that we really deserve are just mainly the big bugs and needed improvements such as lighting fixes, function improvements, performance fixes, and other misc. fixes. We're lucky to have patient developers that are involved with the community to continue on with updating so we don't get bored. There are so many times where people have been completely unaware and stubborn about such things and I see dinnerbone so calm and help them out along with explaining to many different people. To others that say Notch would have done a better job, he said in his AMA that everything that they've added so far would have been what had included except for more half slabs and command blocks (which is a great decision). Really we should still all be playing 1.0 minecraft or maybe 1.1, we only had to pay 10/15/27 dollars just to get a greatly supported game where I see people spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars on one game with developers who don't even care.
Note: The content here is very raw, just some thoughts that I had lurking around. I'll probably edit this some time.
In here you can find a part of what he says: http://minecraft.net/game
As for the blog post, I can't find it, but it's somewhere around beta 1.5 - 1.6 time.

Did he say he found it? No.
OT: Sethbling has a mc edit filter to have dispensers contain more than the usual maximum you can put in a stack so you can put 127 wooden hoes in one slot.

I'll have some up in a few min, but it's straight forward.

Starting the experiment, I would spawn the wither and wait a few seconds then release the anvils which would insta-kill it and drop the nether star. Try it for yourself if you want, and Dinnerbone may you fix this?

You don't need to place a block and someone on /r/minecraft already posted it on the first day.
