Wow, way to lambast the app for a few minor nitpicks. Still, I'll try and address your issues:
1) You're right, it did take 3 years for Yahoo! to come out with a new Mac version. But that says absolutely nothing about future support. Instead of complaining about this, you should be encouraged at the fact that Yahoo! has decided that not only is the Mac platform worth pursuing, but that this new version is a complete re-write in Cocoa instead of the, admittedly, piece of crap Carbon version that was 2.5.3.
2) Well no, this is still just public beta 1. The last version didn't have chat room support either. And frankly, I'm surprised that so many people are asking for this. I didn't think Yahoo! chat rooms were that popular.
3) Yes they can. Webcam should work perfectly fine in pretty much every case, except with 2.5.3 (since 2.5.3's webcam is broken).
4) Your cam should work fine. If it doesn't show up properly in Yahoo! Messenger, make sure it actually works with the rest of the OS (for example, in iChat). Yahoo! Messenger isn't doing anything special with the webcam, so if it's not working that would imply some problem with the webcam itself or with quicktime.
5) That's actually a legitimate complaint. Feel free send it to the feedback email listed under the Helm menuitem.
6) What do you mean, to refresh the chat window? The backscroll doesn't just disappear. And if you mean to see the contents of the previous chat you had with this person, well, that's because this BETA doesn't have archiving support yet.
7) The ignore list in preferences certainly does work. Arguably there should also be an ignore button on the window, but there's reasons for and against this (for example, you can't ignore people on your buddy list, so most of the time the button would be useless). It's certainly not something to get all angry over.
