A blend shape tool would be perfect so you can also make better form following gradients inside an object

It seems AD misses the ability to clip a bitmap via a path.

I hope this app will not remain being a pure one document illustration tool like Illustrator was before they bought Freehand. Freehands beauty was the ability to have multiple pages various sizes and master pages for those. Not everybody needs Indesign - specifically designers who do not do books.

I actually have the feeling and I hope I will be wrong but AS copies Adobe already. Why have an illustration tool and then a publisher tool? Ever worked on multiple page documents? Try that in InDesign it is a disaster when you need to work on something that is not a book. Freehand was perfect for that and Illustrator at one point got the artboard feature but of course lacking the master page tools. And I feel AS does the same some illustration here some layouting in a different app enjoy pushing your data between the apps. I really hope I will be wrong with this fear.
