Something that I have always thought would be great in minecraft was naval combat. What I mean is people in boats, shooting arrows at each other. But you can't all beacause right click is both the dismount and the shoot button. Thinks of all the possibilities if dismount was changed to, say the crouch key?
EDIT: have just realized how I was mistaken. You CAN shoot arrows from boats and minecarts just you cannot aim closer than ~5 block or you will either click to get out of the cart, or the arrow will hit the minecart/boat and destroy it. I still think it would be nice if they changed the dismount key, but it is less integral. I just really want horses :END EDIT
You could have really fun naval battles as I mentioned above.
I have actually made a safari hunt minecart coaster where you ride around and hunt pigs when I discovered it didn't work.
You could make a jousting system with minecarts in a loop. That would be swords actually...... still.
And if/when they add HORSES to give the saddles a reason to exist, you could have war games with horseback archers, and footsoldiers
Changing one key binding would open up such huge possibilities. Come one Jeb!
You can do a jousting system, because you can use swords in a minecart (+1 anyone?). But I really would like to see being able to shoot from a boat. Maybe even craft dispensers into a boat to make a gunboat which can shoot arrows in your inventory... I don't know. There's a lot of room for improvement in boats.
Actually, you only dismount a boat when you right-click on the boat itself. If you are holding a bow and right-click with the cursor pointing at, say, a nearby cow, you won't dismount the boat.
As for horses, I would actually really like this. in fact, there really isn't a reason not to add them. I mean, they're convenient, fit within the theme of the game, won't make the RPG-haters mad, will give a practical use to saddles... The list just goes on.

I think we should just be able to control pigs. Pigs are far more original and (in my opinion) Minecraftish than plain old horses. Who wouldn't like to ride into combat astride their valiant pig?
That's very true, I'd +1 you if I weren't to my limit today. The main point is a controlable mob. One problem is though, pigs are about the same speed as the player, they'd have to be sped up to be worthwhile
It should be the jump key to dismount. That makes more sense.
Also, you should have to jump into the vehicles to get in, not right-click them. Mobs jump into minecarts to get in, so why not players (actually, players are technically mobs)?

That's and idea. It's just when we inevitable get rideable horses, I'd like to be able to jump over things with them.

The horses should jump automatically. I don't think a human can tell a horse to jump whenever he wants (just imagine Steve riding a horse on a flat plain and making it jump every few blocks).

I was going to +1 you until you asked for it.
