I love the idea for the aether, but i would want it as optional and as a plugin for my smp server, i wish it was possible but i know its not right now.
True, the Aether mod has lost interest, but so does anything really. When I think about it, I only play with the cool new stuff with hacks anyway. No way I'm gunna make some awesome stuff with sticky pistons legit, I have only found 2 slime monsters in my entirety of the playing (10 months now), and only 1 dropped a slime ball... I only find myself digging around for the good stuff; diamonds.
If notch added a skyworld that introduced some crazy ores, bosses, rewards, and possibly additional "Adventure Update" items like necklaces or shields (like in the Aether mod), then that would re-ignite the passion for MC I had 10 months ago. Right now, the only thing that's keeping me playing is managing my server. All 1.8 did was create the foundation for a crazy, true "Adventure Update". As of right now there are only things that have no meaning (a few new blocks, ghost towns, empty strongholds, no true use for Endermen), other than a greatly improved world generator.
To those who say "don't add it..." that seems rather counterintuitive. If you don't want it, then don't go there. I don't like the nether, so I don't go there, lol. Besides, in order to make a legit portal to the Aether, you first have to make the hellish trek to the nether first, no one's forcing you to go. In fact, only those who have motivation (or hacks) are able to go.
I don't want it added to the game. And realistically speaking, they're not going to add all these features to the game, especially not next update lol.
Aether has too much stuff: unnecessary new block types, too many new mobs, etc.
Keep it as a mod, because people don't need all this new stuff thrown at them.
I Would Have To Disagree Because Of People With Slow Computers As The Aether Will Make Their Minecraft Even More Slow.
No, not at all really. It would only load the Aether when you go through the portal, and even then it will unload the regular world. Same amount of processing power. Only thing would be if a weaker server had multiple people in all worlds.

You never know, they essentially re-invented the whole thing with 1.8 in a month (or so).
No... the Aether is a mod, a decent one, but it just feels out of place for me. Kudos to the people that made it, but I don't wanna see it in the actually game.
I'm fairly uncertain about whether Aether should be in the game. I see Aether as a sky variant of the Nether (obviously). As of right now Nether hardly serves any purpose besides gathering blocks and killing mobs. So what would be the point of adding another dimension for the same reasons.
Also I'm referring Aether as what it generally is. I know there's more to it in the mod.

As well, Notch has made it clear he won't use it, as he wants to do his own 'Dream world' Aether thing... *smirk*
