I don't think it is not too late to contribute your feedback through the
Bugzilla and wiki channels.

There are plenty of bugs about the error messages being hard to read,
I'm sure another is not necessary :) There is going to be work done in
that area:
http://lenettoyeur-on-eclipse.blogspot.com/2008/12/genuitec- sat4j-and-p2.html
The other points 1 - 4 probably would make good bug reports, though you
may want to try a recent 3.5 build to see if things are better there.
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
Try 3.5M4 which is out in the next day or so. (I20081211-1908 is the
current candidate for promotion to M4).
