In regards to the weather, I would prefer they start by making weather server-side rather than client-side. As it is now, everyone experiences different weather at the same time, which can be quite immersion breaking - especially in RP scenarios.
As for the topic at hand, I personally prefer the realism of random uncontrolled weather. *shrug*
Edit: Although I wouldn't mind them maybe adding this feature to your housing instance - I can see how some may find that a useful/cool feature.
