Make units and grid settings to be bound to file
I work for screen and print media simultaneously in different files
I work in metric units.
I need to have 'mm' for general-stroke-type in design for printing and 'px' in other file for screen.
I'm so tired to change units every time I Ctrl+Tab between them. By hand, every time!
Ctrl+Shift+U change only general units, and I have to skip all picas-inches I never use.
I have to Ctrl+K, click Units and drop down three menus every time I need to see units I need in file I need!
PostScript is cool, point reassigned as a strict fraction of an inch is cool, so USA don't notice much when points-pixels turn into inches.
But other people, living in huge metric world, freak out seeing grid step 28,35px instead of previously set 10mm and 35,28mm instead of 10px!
Bind units to file already!

Another request somewhat related to the problem:
Existing documents open to your preferred units, even if they were created in different units

default settings like keyboard increment, angle, grid are calculated from imperial.
How many users Adobe have outside USA?
In France, we always paid previous Creative Suite higher than USA because of support and translation... units? who cares? Users! :-)
