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 my primary issues.
Please leave our tried and true functions alone. These are NOT improvements. They're hinderances.

Oh yeah, Cat, Illustrator can cause outrages for sure!
If you are missing handles for resizing an object, it means your bounding box got disabled. It is easy to do accidentally with Cmd+Shift+B. You can also turn it back on via menu, View > Show Bounding Box. Hope I got it right.
Cmd+F works exactly like it always worked and should work — it pastes in front of the selection. Paste in Place is Cmd+Shift+V. Both of these commands duplicate, in place, just a little bit differently. Why do you think these should 'NOT duplicate'? Please elaborate.
If you have other issues, don’t hesitate to log them, just note that some might not be real issues, but just a regular incomprehension. Still log it anyway — it helps the team to understand what is wrong with the UX.
But please just log them as sperate issues, do not put everything in one entry. Good luck and solid patience.
