Make Type tool’s font size controls consistent between all products

I love the ability in Photoshop to click and drag on the Tt symbol next to the font size to change the size of your font (or leading, or anything in the type tool option panel) but it seems like everything else including Illustrator, InDesign etc you have to click the up down arrow, or a slider bar, or type the number in. I’ve been using Adobe products since Photoshop 2 and am very surprised with the inconsistency between similar functionalities across all products.

Edit: Somehow this ended up under Aero, but was supposed to be Illustrator

      Here’s the link for Illustrator:

      https://community.adobe.com/p/illustrator

      However, the Illustrator team uses UserVoice instead of the Community Forums for feature requests:

      https://illustrator.uservoice.com

       

      All three applications were developed by different teams in different years. They didn’t start shipping together until Creative Suite was released. At that time, Adobe started standardizing some features. Whenever a change was made there were screams heard around the world from those whose app was affected.

      That being said, I love scrubbing in Photoshop and would love to see it in other apps. “Scrubbing” is the official word, so you might use that when you repost.
