In a relation to anchor text that may affect web sites when it's possibly used in spammy links, it would be nice if Google shows counts in WMT.

Who links the most and Your most linked content are already interconnected.
Now it's the turn for How your data is linked to get into the circle. That would close it.
It would be very nice if we could see the count and if there is a possibility to drill down and see how many exact anchor texts per domain that links to the site.

It's a reasonable suggestion, but to be blunt, much of the data in Webmaster Tools (and particularly link data) is incomplete at best and inaccurate at worst.

At a minimum, I would strongly recommend you supplement data from elsewhere, and ideally have your own tools and data sources.

We had a great discussion of favourite SEO tools [webmasterworld.com] not so long ago, and there was a similar thread on 2012 link tools [webmasterworld.com] in the link dev forum.
