Here are few:
-- "Choose tag/url" dialog opened from "Compare with tag/branch..."
dialog on "Browse" for the "Compare to" url.
-- "Resource History" dialog opened from "Revision" in that same dialog
(this one actually should have sashes between revision table, comments
area and changed paths.
-- Configure tags dialog
I also think that "Compare with tag/branch" dialog could be
simplified. E.g. make dialog resizeable, remove always disabled "compare
from" field, embedd tag/url chooser into the dialog and always do
graphical comparison. Create diff feature can be (and probably should
be) moved to "Create patch" wizard.

It is a good point about mixed project revision and it happens very
often (I think even with new fix for Sync view), so it may worth if
Subclipse would check this and present a warning or ask user to confirm
tagging if working copy has mixed revision.
I also wonder if tag configuration can it be done without working
copy? E.g. checkout only project root dir into some temp directory
change propertis up there, commit and delete temp.
Also in a multiproject tagging situation those projects usually have
common parent folder (e.g. /tags) in svn repository and they all copied
to the same target when tagging (e.g. /trunk/2.0.2), so it would be nice
if Subcipse would allow to select multiple projects, show tag
configuration dialog and allow to chose that target url for all of them
in one shot. Actually in this case it is even easier to verify that tag
configured correctly because there are more information for cross
checking (tag folder should have all projects in it.
