Blending modes respecting self intersecting strokes
When drawing with a real marker, overlapping strokes are darker than single strokes.
I would like Illustrator to have the option to mimic this when using strokes in Multiply mode. It works with to separate paths, but not with self intersecting paths,Compare left and right in the image.

Airbrush features
It would really open up Illustrator to a brand new superior level for not just technical illustrator artists, but other artists that would like to see their drawings in a vectorize art form where they could really explore blending and shadings, instead of just typically relying on pixalated, or rasterized form to perfect their drawings. I fully believed in the potential power of vectorizes art being taking it to another level for artists that can draw freely with their hands. Illustrator’s appeal to hobbyists, Graffiti artist, Caricaturists, and other individual form of artist that specializes in different genres have been…

The Ability to Compound by Color
Take an object or line of text that has been converted to outlines, put an offset path on it, make that new outline a different color than the original object. Now the requested feature would be the ability to drag select the entire object and offset path, then select "Compound By Color" and it will make all colors selected into their own compound path.

Stop with the supersampling export artboard option!!!!!!
Seriously its becoming an irritating issue. Everytime when i want to export many artboard one short, i have to make sure i select supersampling....... otherwise it'll come out pixelated. I'm working in a fast pace environment and i can't keep double check on that option. why not just automatic just make sure the res at 72dpi come out the best appearance? Please fix this. Because if someone wants it to be lower appearance than hey, pls do click this more option. Really irritate me. Here is an image. Left, supersampling, right is not.

Unembed JPEGs & PNGs
Please return the feature from the older versions that lets you unembed JPEGs & PNGs. I hate that it's only possible to do with TIFFs and PSDs now. It's such a pain when you're trying to reduce the file size.

unlimited artboards for storyboarding to scale
Storyboarding at 1920x1080 and I can only get 48 artboards. My computer can easily handle more. Why the limit - more please.
1 voteIf you need to have a larger canvas, you can force Illustrator to enable the 'large canvas mode' by entering the size larger than 227 in (or 16383 px). Ai will warn you the scaling mode gets enabled. Commit and change the size of your artboard to 1920×1080. Done, you now have a larger canvas (actually it means it’s scaled internally and you loose one fractional space, but for storyboarding it’s just fine).

Rotation and reflection when selecting an object
When I have an object selected (left mouse is pressed down), I want to press the space bar to rotate it. This might rotate anticlockwise by 90° (so I would press the space bar three times to rotate the object clockwise by 90°). You could make the rotation angle 45° to be aligned with rotating and holding the shift key.
Also, while the object is again selected, if I press the X key, the object is reflected horizontally; pressing the Y key reflects it vertically.
These key strokes have been in use on another software program that I have used…

Display Animated GIFs while designing
I am a video editor so many of the things I design involve animated GIFs. It would be incredible to have a display option to see GIFs play inside of a document, to help design layout.
Thanks!

Seamless pattern creation
Once you have an illustration completed, you can double, triple, etc, the image you created as they automatically line up in columns once you decide to double (for a seamless pattern) the illustration, image, or 3D assets. Once you start to manually place the duplicated layer you pull the asset to one side of the art board. You want the pattern to have 1/4th of the image going off the art board. The 1/4th section that is going off of the art board (.let’s say on the right side for this example) automatically (almost magically) has the missing section hanging…

Pin valuable layers to top of layer stack
Being able to pin a certain layers which I use alot to the top of the stack would be useful to me. Would save scrolling to find those layers.
When new layers are created, pinned layers would still appear at the top. 😁

Cloud file Versioning
I know this would be a huge lift, but cloud file versioning would be great. Beyond the obvious workflow advantages, it could facilitate working with cloud documents offline and syncing later without risking clobbering what's in there or attempting any sort of complex and error-prone diffing process.

Auto white spaces detection in the edge of Artboard!
Make auto detect tool that can notify you when there is a white space in the edges of the Artboard. It would be great tool, most designers are not aware that the background is not fully filled the artboard! or the image size is not exactly fit the artboard!
Thank you

Save as dialog selects file name including extension
macOS 11.5.1 / Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1
[on macOS] when saving files only the filename is selecetd, not the extension. It used to be fine with Adobe apps until some versions back suddenly the whole file name including extension is selected in the Save as dialog.
Adding some text used to be easy. With a tap on the right arrow key the cursor moved between de file name and the extension. When I do this now the cursor is placed after the extension so I have to use the mouse or left arrow key to move the cursor 3-4 positions back.…

Automatic stroke manipulation based on the depth of geometry
It has been quite time-consuming when producing architecture line drawing representations. The depth of an object is represented through the different stroke weights. Every time I have to modify the stroke weights manually (i.e. perspective representation, the closer visual depth the objects have, the thicker stroke weights they have, vice versa) I expect illustrator can update this ability to automatically compute the visual depth of objects and adjust stroke weights of every geometric edges based on the rule of perspective representation! That could save life of many architecture students!

Move selected objects while "object selection only by paths" is on
When "object selection only by paths" is on in my preferences, I should be able to move a selected object while clicking on it's fill. At the moment, if I select an object, and then click left mouse button down and drag on it's fill to move, the program think I'm trying to do a drag selection, and that make no sense.
