Export BMP on various artboards
When will it be possible to export more than one image of the same artwork on different artboards in the .bmp?
The 'Use artboards' option is disabled for this format.12 votes -
Please optimize the performance of illustrator as whole, panning & zooming on macOS.
Adobe UI experience is like you are remotely connect to a computer and using illustrator on it. Frustrating...

Generate .ico file from Illustrator (AND Photoshop)
I just used https://icoconvert.com/ to convert a 32x32 PNG to ICO.
This is something that, in 2020, Illustrator -- AND Photoshop! -- ought to be able to do natively. I mean, if a WEBSITE can do it....

New larger Free Distort effect interface
We really need a global, accurate transform and distort window in the application. It needs more detail, the ability to recall the last applied action and interaction with bitmaps. This is a feature people have been asking for nearly 20 years - I've even designed it for you! Can you build it now?

Turn "Export for Screens..." into a processing powerhouse for screens and print alike: add more file formats and CMYK mode
Why limit exporting to screens? Many graphic design workflows require assets for both screen and print. A user should be able to pick and choose (and save) all kinds of combinations of formats, dimensions, resolutions, and naming conventions for exporting.
PNGs, JPGs, EPSs (Please add), PDFs, TIFFs, GIFs, SVGs, etc.
This could be such a timesaver, and go a long way to help restore faith in Adobe CC.

Support SVG property 'paint-order'
Add support for the paint-order property. By default the fill is painted and then the stroke is placed on top. The paint-order property allows this order to be defined so the stroke can be placed under the fill. Without support for this a svg can look very different than the imported version in illustrator.
The file attached is an example of the property in use.
Example:

Allow drag and drop of cropped images like InDesign does
It will be great time saving if i can quickly replace an image just by dragging and dropping an image into a frame of a cropped image like i can do in InDesign. I too slow to have to look for the new link of the image open finder search thumbnails, etc. Could that be possible?

Exclude / inverted mode for clipping mask, to view what’s outside of the clipping path instead of inside
It would be interesting to be able to use the clipping mask to also exclude a path from a shape. This would avoid using the pathfinder (exclusion) to keep the shapes to take back them.

Select Objects in Layer selects locked objects
Objects that are locked within a layer get selected when selecting everything in a layer. Instead of selecting everything in the layer except the locked items.

Don’t include the stroke of the object when creating an object-sized artboard with Artboard tool
Create artboards to CENTER of stroke pleasssseee!
If I create a box with a fill and stroke, using (Shift+O) for Artboard tool, I double-click my box and a new artboard is created.
When I double-click my shape with the Artboard tool, it creates an artboard around the stroke width and not the actual bounding box or CENTER of the stroke.
I believe Illustrator used to perform this operation correctly in the past.12 votes -
Hue cube / Live Color Picker
Would it be possible to import the Hue cube from Photoshop when choosing color? MagicPicker plugin won't work when selecting gradient colors (it will just replace the gradient completely) and Color Picker doesn't allow for real-time changes, you need to select the color and press OK to see the change. Color tab works perfectly, but the available color palette is impractical to use. I have no clue why you are not using the same setup as in Photoshop, where the Color tab looks exactly like the Color Picker. People have been complaining about this for 4 years now.

Character and Paragraph Styles
In indesign Character and Paragraph Styles are very easy to use, and they can be grouped. Is it possible to have similar styles in illustrator?

Make a selection of objects from Global Edit
When using Global Edit to edit multiple instances of a grouped object (or any other object), it would be very useful to have an option to keep those objects selected when you leave Global Edit (in order to group them all together for instance).

Make Overprint attribute not sticky for new art created
Create or select any object. On the Attributes panel set Overprint Fill/Stroke checkmark.
After deselecting object Overprint attribute remains CHECKED instead of resetting. And every newly created object instantly receive this Overprint attribute!Very annoying and sometimes cause real troubles with undesired overprinted objects.
Overprint attribute should reset to UNCHECKED after deselecting an object.

Paste remembers layers bug with isolation mode
If you choose the option Paste Remembers Layers and copy elements when in Isolation Mode and paste these after exiting Isolation Mode, they appear on a new layer named "Isolation Mode". They should appear on their parent layer instead.

Overprint simulation on image file exports (JPEG for example)
I think that it would add great value when Illustrator exports to image file the option to add overprint simulation, in the same way as InDesign easily does.
I would add great benefit to our jobs and would simplify some steps (not going to InDesign just to do that).12 votes -
Do not silently turn on "Turn off data recovery for complex documents"
I feel great sadness typing this. The whole auto save feature is intended to quietly SAVE stuff if Illustrator goes belly up. This is extra valid for complex documents. Why ON EARTH would Illustrator silently turn off this feature for the VERY DOCUMENTS it is designed for?
Please: notify a user if Illustrator, for any reason, decides to mess with the autosave feature. But mostly just don't turn it off if a user has it turned on. Just don't.
