I loathe this 2021 update
There are so many issues with this update. I'm not even sure where to start. Functions that were always present are now gone. This is seriously messing with my speed and efficiency. What a mess!
Where did the free transform function go? When I'm using the selection/direct selection tools, the anchor points for resizing are gone. PUT THEM BACK!
Key commands aren't working properly. Example: Command C > command F should paste in place, but NOT duplicate. I've spend stupid amounts of time trying to figure out why the **** I have extra boxes.
There are more, but these are…

Allow layers with "print" unchecked to also not render in "output for screens".
Basically, just like the title says. When the "Print" box in a layer's properties is unchecked, that layer will not be printed (or, when exporting, it won't be used in the export).
I'd like this behavior to be continued in export for screens. That way, you can set up layers for overlays and guides but not have to manually hide them before export.
F/E, here's an overlay on a FB mobile sized coverpage; I'd like the blue box etc (on their own non-print layer called "overlays") to be gone on export so that when I export, all that the resulting…

Ability to change the Canvas size after a new document is created (normal to large and vise versa)
The new expanded large canvas size is great, but I think there should be an option to change the canvas size from the standard one to the expanded large one after a document is created instead of having to create a new document.

Illustrator 2021 Won't Open
Every time I try to open AI/2021 the icon just bounced and the App Panel just hangs and nothing happens. I'm using a 2017 version of the 2013 desktop, with plenty of RAM, all my other apps work except this - any tips boffins?

Customize Export Formats
I use only two export formats on a regular basis. It would be nice if could disable the formats I don't use. It is cumbersome to have to scroll through all the formats every time I use them. In older AI versions, each format was like a plug-in file that could be removed if not being used. It would also be nice if individual formats could be assigned keyboard shortcuts.

Add expressions and more JS stuff to illustrator workflow
As an AE user, I love expressions. Is it possible to rethink Ai from this point of view?

Right click menu for typography
One of my biggest pet peeves working with fonts in Illustrator is when I am switching fonts within a document. When I highlight copy then right click to bring up the menu to change to a "recent" font, I have to scroll through the "fonts" option which sometimes engages to open but has a huge delay because it has to read ALL my fonts first. Why not reverse the order of these two menu items? I believe it would be a nice enhancement everyone would enjoy.

Asset Export: Name assets after the layer they're on
When adding objects to Asset Export, there should be an option to name the assets after the layer they're on. This would be particularly helpful when there are a large number of assets.

Create an Action from History Panel
Ok... I've hit on an idea.. I think. Have you ever been experimenting and hit on a great idea, or manually created an effect to lettering, and would like to apply the same treatment to other objects?
This could be an option in the Actions panel to create an Action from history. This would involve a couple new tools. A History panel like Photoshop, and an option to create an Action from already performed steps.

GPU performance is not working properly
GPU performance should improve efficiency when drawing complex objects, but the behavior has been delayed since CC 2018 (version 22).
The file created in CC 2015.3 (version 20) is test sample.
If you select a created object and move it with the mouse, the result will be completely different.2015.3 / 2017: Drawing delay does not occur when GPU performance is ON
2018 / 2019 / 2020: GPU performance ON causes drawing delay, OFF is fasterThe confirmed environment is Windows 10 1909 + Intel Core i7-6700HQ + GeForce GTX 950M.
In addition, although it is another data, the delay…27 votes -
Linking dxf/dwg
This might be very wishfull thinking...
I am an architect, and use CAD to make plan drawings, and illustrator to make them look good (adjusting lineweight, stroke, color and so on). But if i make an updated drawing in CAD, i have to do everything all over again in Illustrator. It would be awsome if illustrator was able to give a specific layer a specific lineweight/stroke/color etc... and was able to update this on its own!

Automatic spell check (similar to InDesign)
While not everyone creates text heavy content in AI, it would be a MAJOR help if I could either have a 3rd party way to spell check as I go or to have an internal method of doing this.

Stop changing the name of Illustrator application.
Most applications retain the same "Application" name between versions. This makes transitioning between versions easy when working with a script-driven automation workflow. Illustrator is unique because the application name changes with every "update". This greatly complicates our ability to easily update Illustrator in our workflow. Please consider maintaining the same application name like most applications do.
