Dynamic Text (as in Photoshop) or Capitalize (optional) & Fit (as in Adobe Spark / Express)
In Adobe Spark, when creating a Post, there's a nice feature which allows you to create a dynamic text box which capitalizes, scales, and fits the words to a text box, as you click and drag the handles of the text box. In Adobe Spark the feature is called "Capitalize & Fit". It would be nice to have something similar in Illustrator.

Illustrator Beta (starting with 30.9.0.52) now offers its own approach to dynamic text.
Text auto-resizes and reflows to fit its container as we scale or reshape it. It also works with Type on a Path, so any curve we draw gets the same fit-to-space behavior.
Please try it and share what you think about it with the team in comments — the feedback we share is shaping what gets shipped.
- Select the Type tool. Click to add a line of text, drag to create a text area, or select an existing type object.
- Turn on Dynamic Text (the T with a lighting bolt button) from the Contextual Task Bar, Properties, or Control panels.
- Resize or reshape the bounding box to see the text fit itself.
- Alter the settings in the Properties panel (only there for now)

I agree with this comment. Capitalize and fit would be a great feature to have in illustrator.
