A gizmo, like used on 3D softwares could be a great solution to improve shape transformation. Snapping could also be improved a lot with a gizmo.

Take a look at Cinema 4D for example.

Currently its very annoying to do these operations. Rotate option, appear or not depending on the zoom. We don't have any options for snapping and it its very unfriendly the way it works.

Thank you.
