Taper
I was thinking about this for a time now, what if we could have taper ability for shapes?
To elaborate, here we have a rectangle (video) and to adjust it we got to select one anchor, bring it in, other anchor, check if they are symmetrical, and bring other anchor in
What if there would be a taper that will simultaneously pull two desired anchors inwards or outwards?

Actually, Illustrator allows to do that now, with the Free Transform tool (default hotkey is E).
See the GIF attached. You have to hold Ctrl (to allow distortion), plus Alt (to include the opposing corner), plus Shift (to allow symmetry).
Generally this tool is much better than having the bounding box enabled all the time (that’s why I disable the box and hit E when I need to scale or distort).Does this work for you?
It has some limitations, but there are also workarounds :)(Edited by admin)
