An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Bernhard, Illustrator has a ton of tools and a lot more options than Affinity Designer (and I can’t say it’s exactly a benefit, really). As for the customizable workspace — it allows some, so one can’t say it has none..
'Better' or 'worse' — it's up to taste, let's talk some facts.
What exactly do you think Illustrator is missing? Give some examples, provide reasons, elaborate, please. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Debbie, the purpose of the Appearance panel is to control the appearance, and not to store the complete graphics styles — that’s what the Graphics Style panel is for. You can build whatever appearance you want and save it as a graphic style for future uses.
And if you want the certain style to be automatically applied for the next shape you create — make sure you uncheck the 'New art has basic appearance' option in the Appearance panel flyout menu. This will ensure the next path gets the appearance form the object you had selected last.
You can also redefine the basic graphic style, by dragging a path with the appearance you want to make the new default with Alt/Opt held over the [Default] item in Graphic Styles — then, when you hit D, the selected art will get this new style instead of ordinary 'black and white' stroke and fill.
Finally, there are many way to create the double line you speak of. Here is the file with just two examples: one uses the transparency and knockout trick, while the other one (with colors) just has a brush.
Both are saved as styles already, and can be modified the way you like them.
Does this suffice? If not — please explain a bit more about the case you have: what do you try to get and why and how does you idea may help you with it? -

The Eyedropper tool’s options can be configured to transfer arrowheads, which are treated as 'complex appearance'.
See comments for details.
An error occurred while saving the comment Arrowheads are considered to be a part of 'complex appearance' of an object. Eyedropper in Illustrator by default is configured in a way it does not pick or apply the complex appearance, but you can change it.
Pick the tool, hit Enter to open its options (or double-click the tool icon in the tool panel), and tick both Appearance options. Now the tool is going to transfer all of the appearance from an object to another.
Be careful though — the behaviour of this 'advanced' eyedropper rather differs from its basic variant, especially when dealing with groups, so keep your eye on the Appearance panel. Don't forget to uncheck these option when you are done with the task. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Can reproduce with the .ai file attached.
1. Select the only text object in the file
2. Pick Eyedropper tool
3. You don't have to change any settings of it, you can leave both Appearance options unchecked
4. Click the text object with the Eyedropper tool
The text become orange, the tracking gets changed.
The text has a basic appearance, so I have no clue where does it come from.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An intended way of picking up the hidden Zone Marker tool via a script is to enter the Intertwine mode using these commands:
app.executeMenuCommand('Partial Rearrange Make') — when an intertwine object is not created yet, and
app.executeMenuCommand('Partial Rearrange Edit') — when the object already exists, as per comments by the OP.
An error occurred while saving the comment You are correct, the tool gets picked automatically once the mode is entered.
Since the discussion in fact is pretty useful for those who might search for it, I will rather mark it as 'Resolved' and quote you in the status.An error occurred while saving the comment Mer, the same applies to making edits into an intertwine.
You have to call for the Edit command and then call the hidden tool.
This is an intended way, the developer says, and not a workaround.
Please confirm it works for you.An error occurred while saving the comment I guess the correct way of using this would be to create an intertwine object first and only then to call a specific hidden tool that is designed to work with intertwines only.
Remember that you can create one with the menu command and not specify zones at all, and it still will be a valid intertwine object.
So it's not a tool that creates it, but a separate command you forgot to call.AdminEgor Chistyakov

I understand. Still, it’s a very general request, and there is nothing to grab onto in particular. There are many requests about specific tools for iPad, and you better vote for those you find exactly useful for you. so that the team could prioritize what users really need. Adding these just for the sake of consistency is an utopian scenario, since resources for this are finite.
Converting bitmap to vector exists for iPad, since 2021, it's called Vectorize.
What do you want to change about exporting? Be a bit more specific, please. Same deal for the UI customization — what do you want to customize on iPad and what for? What is the scenario you have which requires it and can benefit from it?
