I was just thinking of this today. I certainly am looking forward to a new version of Keynote. Many others have posted in other places a the list of needed features.
Writing good software takes time. If you want fast turnarounds with lots of features, features, features, you're going to sacrifice quality.
More regular incremental upgrades would be nice for something like Keynote, but it's a revenue stream - it's in Apple's (or any publisher's) best interest to save them up for a large upgrade that can convince you to pay out more moola, instead of smaller upgrades that individually are small enough to be considered 'free'.
OS updates and application security patches are another story, of course, but adding new features in general will cost you more $.
If the application is stable, (relatively) bug-free and without serious problems in what it claims to do, don't expect updates frequently.

Hmmm, now that you mention it, it has been a long time.
Well, I've never used Keynote anyway, so meh... m.
I forget exactly, have they made any small updates to it since its release?

It wouldln't cost apple too much to buy salling outright.
