Preferences for layers panel
Obviously there are a lot of ideas and requests for the layers panel because everyone wants to customize it for their own uses. Adding a bunch of options in the preferences panel would be better than a lot of "permanent" changes.
I don't like the fact that every element is on a separate layer at all, for my projects it is not necessary. In InDesign I get to choose what elements are on which layer - that would be sooooooo nice in Illustrator

Hi Egor,
In response to "Speaking of layers — well InDesign has a very similar Layers model, modelled after Ai (no pun intended). But you think they are different enough to be better in InD. Can you elaborate on that please?"
For example - AI separates each letter of one word onto a separate layer, this can't be necessary for many designers, it's certainly not in my world. In InDesign I can decide what goes on each layer - the program does not make that decision for me. I don't need 50 layers or more to deal with. Maybe I don't know how to simplify them? -

Does it solve you problem.Speaking of layers — well InDesign has a very similar Layers model, modelled after Ai (no pun intended). But you think they are different enough to be better in InD. Can you elaborate on that please?
