Timeline folders. We have them in Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator... precomps can utterly ruin your work and is NOT an alternatives to having a simple folder hierarchy - especially when dealing with shape layers or anything that requires continual rasterization.

I'd like to create a bin inside my working composition. That way I could keep things organized without precomposing, which is more time-consuming. I would like to have a bin which would open bellow, not in another tab or window. It would work similarly as a layer tab in Adobe Illustrator.
Please make that future available it would save me so much time while working. I also don't it is hard to implement it.

Create bins/folders in layer panels. It'll be much easier to work on big projects

If a dude on aescripts could do it, you could do it. Or at least hire him! I love ae, but really: essential properties is of no use in a workflow with 150 layers or more. One thing is having priorities, one thing is organizing things. Subfolders are really a simple thing, as well as groups and layers. Please add it!

It's crazy isn't it. This is SUCH a simple feature, but would make a huge difference to complex timelines. At the very least they could add some stronger colours to the layer colour options too. The only one that really stands out is yellow. These are such basic things Adobe. It's really time you put folders in. Esp since development seems to have been quite light on AFX over the last few years. It's as if you're just doing the bare minimum now.
