The one thing barring me from using Folium is the lack of support for markers using custom icons, through the use of user-provided .png files. This functionality is offered with Leaflet - http://leafletjs.com/examples/custom-icons.html
According to the text, "Marker icons in Leaflet are defined by L.Icon objects, which are passed as an option when creating markers."
For me personally, the option of including a shadow icon, as offered by Leaflet, is unnecessary, but I don't want to speak on behalf of everyone who desires this functionality.
I don't think I have the coding chops to actually add this functionality on my own. I'm eager to learn, but for the time being, if someone's willing to take this on, it would be enormously appreciated.
