#4 Implement collapsing footnotes
The main gripe when using LaTeX for me as a student in
humanities is that the footnotes are part of the main
text when I edit it. Since I use a lot of footnotes,
this makes it really hard to read larger text parts
before compiling it. If iTeXMac had the ability to
collapse footnotes, this would tremendously improve my
workflow.

Unfortunately, this kind of features is planned a priori for a rather distant
future together with (sub)section collapsing.
In the meanwhile, you can edit you footnotes in separate files and use
\footnote{\input theFootnoteReference.tex}
I personnaly would define a command for that:
\newcommand{\externalfootnote}[1]{\footnote{\input #1}}
When you want to edit your footnote, you can select the argument of the
command and use iTeXMac's File/Open selection menu item.
