I lost about a Year of My Life double-clicking on objects within a group, inside of clipping masks. A less repetitive and MUCH faster way would be an option to "Ignore Groups and Clipping Masks" (i.e holding some key while clicking).

The option would temporarily (select-wise) treat grouped and clipped objects as normal objects, allowing direct click on an object through a clipping mask and ignoring groups. An "If you can see it, you can click on it!" approach for instant color and other adjustments.

This alone would speed up the workflow and, combined with wireframe view, it would be lightning fast.

If you do consider this, also consider ignoring groups and clipping masks for "Select Similar Objects". I'm working on one object which is a part of a complex group with clipping masks etc, in 64 STATES!! Imagine having to double-click 384 TIMES just to make a single tweak.

When you want to change from resolution 800480 to 1024600 there is a slight differeence in pixel dimension to remain circle shaped objects. So idea is that you are able to change pixel dimension and convert some files, instead of drawing new ones. For example-you have a circled object in some .ai file, where you have square pixels. If AI would allow to change pixel shape to rectangular, like 0,14mm height and 0,15mm width, or 0,148mm,..., than it would fasten up things of making same graphic for different screen resolution with tool of pixel dimensions, instead of drawing whole new screen.

Fix Illustrator so that on a Mac the performance isn't so slow and laggy that I can count to 13 before menus drop down, and I end redoing so many things because the lag caused me to overclock. Keyboard shortcuts don't work either, 99% of the time. Used to be great software, but now it is almost unusable. It's lack of performance ate up at last 65% of my work time. It takes hours now because of lag time to do something that would have taken 30 minutes in vision 2018 and earlier. I have no lag or performance issues with Photoshop, or Lightroom, or any of your other apps, but this one I, week, if I had any other options at this moment, I would have deleted it. When I really just wanted to smash it with a baseball bat.

Sorry, can't recommend upgrade of 2020 to my colleagues. I work for a large Engineering firm and we have powerful computers. We have critical deadlines for Q4-2019 - Upgrading to 2020 will be a big mistake as it will cause delay to our projects and stress to the members .
Saving files takes too long, copying takes system long to process - pasting is fine. Adding text is ridiculously taking forever and it creates its own textbox size - It feels like going back to AI CS6.

Suggest to review what you had for AI 2019- this was one of the best versions.

I am working on a 2017 iMac pro with an 18 core Intel Xeon W processor, 128 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 memory and a Radeon Pro Vega 64 GPU (16 GB memory). I just (November 5, 2019) updated to AI 2020 and everything is significantly slower than the last version of AI 2019 (yes, GPU enhancement settings are on). I purchased AI CS because it had the GPU enhancement and it was 64-bit allowing me to work with the rather large vector images produced during my data analysis from spacecraft. However, this slow down is like going back to AI CS 5. What changed/went wrong in the new AI 2020 that caused such a drastic change in performance? AI 2019 was fast and great but something broke in 2020 making everything (saving, dynamic manipulations, etc.) much slower.

In Adobe Illustrator, I use the transform again tool a lot during my day to day and seemingly recently, it hasn’t been affecting live or outlined type* when it will affect any other regular object. Has anyone come across this on their own or know how to fix it? It will continue to transform the text if you scale up or down as well repeating moves but when scaling objects to certain sizes using the guides and then replicating the same growth on the text object doesn’t work.

I’ve tried ungrouping, releasing the compound path, tried intersecting the shapes, the menu command
