Ai allows to use Halftone effects via Effect -> Pixelate -> Color halftone.
What specific cases are not solvable through the use of this?

An error occurred while saving the comment Selecting a stroke shouldn't make me want to rip my hair out and uninstall Illustrator.
I know this is a highly demanded fix, but I wanted to add to the pressure to get this working. In the images I uploaded, the expectation is that we could click anywhere in the stroke color to select the path. The reality is that you have to click the electron-sized path itself, which feels nearly impossible and demands a reward when I do manage to do so.
Changing the selection tolerance settings does nothing. If that setting worked, that may also be a decent solution to this problem.
For reference, this is a 2pt stroke but applies to any path and stroke width. I also have "Object Selection by Path Only" disabled.

All those who commented on the topic until October 16, 2023, are already added as voters there. If this is something you want to have for 3D and Materials in Illustrator — please upvote it. If possible — create new requests and bug reports about 3D, rather than commenting here inside. This will help the team to better prioritize efforts on making the feature better. As always — thanks for the feedback! It helps.
An error occurred while saving the comment This is a massive improvement from what the 3D capabilities were. But utilizing edge detection/ geometry to influence the material is needed for this to be a worthwhile tool (Smart Materials).
Maybe I'm missing this disclaimer somewhere, but I haven't seen where it states Smart Materials are not supported. However, I cannot import them into illustrator - only plain materials.
Hi Archit, the current halftone effect you refer to is a raster effect.
This post supports an effect that would essentially do the same thing using vectors. Using a vector effect would be much more usable and more powerful than the current raster effect.
A good example of what this might look like is the Astute Graphics Phantasm tool. Astute is the only plugin I know of that can do vector halftones.
The need here is for a vector effect that can be scaled, edited, and recolored without needing to rasterize the artwork.
