1. Put all Blend options and commands into one dialog / panel

   Blend Tool > Blend Options Panel stinks, nothing personal.
   I use the Blend tool. A lot. When I start a blend, the Properties Panel helpfully tells me that I have a Blend. Thanks for that. But I still have to go to Object > Blend > Blend Options to get any options for the Blend tool. What if the Blend tool options would magically appear in the Properties panel while I'm using that tool?

   Also, the Blend Options panel will not let me make any changes to the blend other than Spacing or Orientation. How about putting the other Blend Options (Expand, Release, Reverse Spline, etc.) in the Blend Options panel so that I can make or preview changes to the blend without having to click Object > Blend > Blend Options each time?

2. Anchor point Smart Delete

   Deleting an anchor point by default breaks up the shape of the stroke.
   What about Smart Delete, that automatically adjusts nearest handles to save the shape of the stroke?
   I dream about it from the CS3 version :)

   You can do it natively now, by choosing the standalone Delete Anchor Point Tool and clicking a point with Shift held.

   This is an obscure way, and you can vote to make it more accessible — please vote here

3. Blend Tool Default Settings

   I use the blend tool primarily to create specified steps between objects. The tool always defaults to smooth color spacing. It would be great to be able to set a default spacing mode. In fact, it would be even better if the properties panel showed blend tool options.

   Illustrator today has a new Blend panel (thanks to this request), and it seems to remember the settings set, for all the documents, for all the app sessions. Please check if it solves the problems you had and comment back if you want to change anything in the way it works.
