I'd like to see them make the tool length in the offsets table default to a high number instead of Zero.. I know too many people who made a tool in cam, and forgot to enter the height in the offsets.. crash...

That is a good idea that you can implement yourself.
Create a Gcode file that contains a series of lines like:
G10 L1 Pxxx Z21.1111
where the xxx is replaced with the number of unused tools. This sets the length to 21.1111 which stands out nicely when the tool table is displayed and prevents running jobs containing undefined tool numbers.
