Always show text panel option by default (always on)
The fact that we now have to click a button to show optional items for the text panel in Illustrator hinders my workflow. It would be nice if we could make the options visible be default (always have them shown). For anyone creating logos or working with type, this is an absolute must!

Walter, do you mean you have to open options each time, like on relaunch? I enabled all 'Show' options once, and it stick for me, never getting collapsed into the basic panel. Does it work differently for you?

Provide more information on how to get to "Baseline Shift". It took one day and numerous forum posts to figure it out.
To do a type/baseline shift in Illustrator requires that one Preference be toggled ON. That's just in order to see the option in the Type panel. I'm sure you know which one, so I won't bother telling you. If that pref is NOT set to ON, the user will not be able to find Baseline Shift, let alone use it. I wasted an hour or so trying to find it, then gave up and did the baseline shift in photoshop. I asked on the AI Forum, and got many answers, none of which tipped me off-until I had already figured it out on my own. So figure it out on your own, then include something in the documentation about it.
