This brings up a question in my mind, though, especially with a new
Ethereal release coming. What's left before a 1.0 release? Are there
a few core features that need to be implemented? Some polishing-up
that needs to be done? With a few tweaks could Ethereal finally be
ready for 1.0 status?

This is actually a decent article. It definitely has its technical
issues, and things left out: It's odd that the author neglected to
point out the extreme cross-platform capabilities of the product
versus the other analyzers reviewed. He didn't mention the fact that
not only does Ethereal decode a huge number of protocols not touched
by the other products, but in general the quality and accuracy of the
decodes is FAR beyond the other analyzers. He didn't even mention
that Ethereal is the only product mentioned with an actual display
filtering system (offset filtering during post-capture analysis
doesn't count). Overall, though, not bad =)

Magazine has very nice things to say about Ethereal. A couple of
quotes:
"Ethereal is one of the best open source programs ever made."
"Ethereal includes all the features that you typically find in a
protocol analyzer."
