Make zooming in respect the text insertion point (text cursor)
With or without the Zoom to Selection option (in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display), zooming in (I use Cmd/Ctrl+Plus a lot when I edit text) into the edited text won’t respect the blinking cursor’s position. So If I decided to zoom into a text I’m editing, Ai would just zoom in the middle, hiding my point of interest out of the view.
Thanks to Brian Wood for bringing the attention to it.
More of it — if I START typing (or press an arrow button), hoping for the view to adjust (like it used to do) — it won’t happen!
So I can type blindly now, not seeing the result: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51215062
And really, Zoom to Selection is just broken: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32928385
It centers the view, instead of keeping the selection within view. It’s super painful when you zoom out using hotkeys.

And there are two related problem I can think of:
1. Zoom to selection' zooms AND centers: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32928385 — quite painful when zooming out especially
2. Viewport doesn’t get adjusted when I start editing text outside of it, like it used to do: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51215062 — worked in CS era fine
