recorte de Imagen - mejorar funcionalidad
Crop Image Function
Sería interesante contar con controles flotantes cuando se hace uso de la herramienta de Crop Image porque uno hace uso de la misma con los márgenes activos de corte pero luego debe confirmar el recorte haciendo clic en boton ubicado en la barra de las propiedades de la la herramienta, generando así una distracción en su uso y pérdida de tiempo.
Además la herramienta de corte todavía no es inteligente al sugerir cortes y todo el tiempo se debe volver a ajustar el recorte.

Illustrator icon
I don't know if it annoys anyone else but it drives me crazy the Photoshop icon has rounded corners and the Illustrator icon has sharp corners. Why aren't all the Adobe icons either rounded or sharp, just be consistent!

Rounding errors when changing the unit
When working pixel-perfect, e.g. for creating icons, I switch the unit to pixels and the standard move distance to 1 px. After changing it to mm for different projects and then going back to pixels, it always goes to 1.0001 px distance - which means 2 px. Please fix this rounding error.

Shape-mode
Just as there is an outline-view, there should be a shape-view. I am incredibly tired of having to guess which parts of a path are part of a shape.
There should be a mode where the focus is the shapes that have been defined (e.g. through pathfinder or manually), and the status of any line in relation to a shape.
The overview should differentiate the status of every component by colour (e.g. part of a shape, part of multiple shapes, part of compound path etc) and then allow you to click on any element and see a list of which…

Take UI problems from users serious!!
Schön wäre es wenn man das UI "dezent" bzw. stufenlos skalieren könnte.
Am Retina iMac ist die kleine Schriftgröße und Symbolgröße in den Bedienfeldern eine Katastrophe!Schön wäre es auch wenn Voreinstellungen von Indesign, Illustrator und Photoshop alle am selben Ort zu finden wären.
Und eine dezente UI Skalierung für Indesign und Photoshop wär auch ein Hit. Ich verstehe nicht, warum man dies nur für Illustrator gemacht hat und da nur schlampig.2 votes -

Allow color coded top layers
Please allow us to color code the top layer/s. For those whom have to work with 30 plus layers the tiny color slice indicator (which is just the color of the selected vector line, not the layer) is not enough. If I could color code the layers it would speed up my job significantly and our company. Thank you!

Selection dependent tool display (context sensitive)
In Adobe Illustrator, I find myself searching for tool panels a lot.
How great would it be when Ai only displays relevant tool panels,For instance:
-Selecting the Eyedropper brings up color related panels, and the Info panel
-Selecting Paths brings up Pathfinder, Stroke and Fill
-Selecting Text brings up Paragraph and CharacterE.g: currently, it can happen that Pathfinder hides a type related panel, while text is selected.
Pathfinder is not relevant at that moment.2 votes -

Combine Separations Preview & Color palette.
Why not combine the Separations Preview and Color palette into one? It seems like there's plenty of space if you change the "C, M, Y, & K" to toggle buttons that turn on and off those colors and the percentage total at the bottom right. And maybe include the additional spot colors with a text link or expansion of the palette.

Workspace remembers panel size and collapsed state
I use Illustrator on my laptop screen and also when plugged into an external monitor.
When switching between these screens I often have to adjust which panels are collapsed, and the size of each panel, particularly when going from the smaller laptop screen to the external monitor.It would be very helpful if the workspace settings could remember not just which UI panels you have open, but their size and collapsed state. This way I could have a preference for when Illustrator is displaying on a 15" laptop and one for my 27" monitor.

Allow ZOOM when using spacebar while scrolling
When holding spacebar to pan over the document, please allow ZOOMING by scrolling on the mouse. Rather than having two separate keys. Quite tedious.

Close tabs to the right
Internet browsers have this option to "close tabs to the right" when right clicking on an open tab. I feel like this could be a nice extra to all of the Adobe programs, where one can work with tabs.

escape full screen
Why does the Escape key exit the user from full screen mode in Illustrator. Why does Illustrator not behave like Photoshop?
The F key could cycle through the different screen modes: Full screen, Full Screen with Menu Bar, Full Screen Mode.
Escape should have no effect on this because it's used while drawing or typing.

Create New Layers by Dragging and Dropping Groups or Objects from Original Layers
Please give us the ability to drag and drop Objects in-between Layers in order to create new Layers--without having to "Collect in New Layer."
On top of that, please retain the object's name as the Layer name when doing this action.

STOP changing the behavior of the tools!
I have used AI for over 20 years -- I've even been featured in books!! Why the F is the team changing the behavior of tools. IT AINT BROKEN and you're making it worse.
Just in the last 5 minutes I've found that I can no longer rotate a text box and have the text rotate, as well. Now the text stays put and the box rotates. WHY?
Also, when I save a new document (with it set to AI editable pdf) it's saving some other copy and the document that's currently open is still unsaved and untitled. How is…

Let us customize what shortcuts are in the right click popup panel
Allow users to select what shortcuts or tools, actions, etc... appear in the default Right click popup panel.
The same way we can choose which tools show in which docks i believe it would improve productivity speed tremendously for users using mice or devices that either have awkward or no hot key peripherals. eg a a laptop or wireless keyboard that has strange key arrangements. non cintiq users ... even cintiq users could benefit... esp. mobile users in tight places where you can't fold out wireless shortcut devices like on trains and planes, buses, cars etc...
It started with me…

Custom background color for tool windows
Currently working with dual monitors, one monitor has most of my tool windows.
If I am using one window of tools most of the time, it would be nice to set the base color to orange so I can spot it easier. Or even group windows that are similar to say green, and rarely used windows would remain grey.2 votes -
Illustrator works terribly with the Microsoft stylus.. both the interface needs to be completely overhauled to work with touch
Illustrator needs a complete overhaul in order to work as a touch interface with a stylus... the 'touch' workspace is a step in the right direction but needs more features including layers.. also the performance is terrible in working with a pressure sensitive stylus and results in misleading line weight lagging and locking up and freezing.. I am using the surface pro (5)
