Shadow and other Stylize effect dialog boxes - Modernize!
Can you please make the Stylize (under effects) dialog boxes actually useful?
The up and down arrow .125 inch default is just useless, far too big of steps to allow any real control. Unless (maybe) you're putting a shadow under a giant object.
X & Y movement rather than direction… the whole thing is clunky and hasn't changed in a decade or more.
Try putting a drop shadow on any reasonable font size (for example), I find myself making changes in weird amounts (oh, .06 is too much, I'll change it to .052 and see if that works).
It's just painful to work with.
How about a slider?
Or, if you want to see a useful drop shadow interface, Photoshop has one! Use that. Perfectly functional.
Please, please make this a useful interface, I've been waiting for this since version 5.5. That's too long.

There’s a general request about scrubbing, Photoshop-style, here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31977841
Another request says about modifier keys for using arrow keys, applicable here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35926921
One more request is about customizing default values for fields — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37701121 (and numerous specific ones about certain tools and functions).As for the direction/angle + distance + size instead of X/Y offset values approach — you are the first one who asked about this, at least since 2017, when Ai UV was established. No wonder we have to wait! Voted.
