Why kill the rotobrush?

Title: Object Matte is a massive step backward from Roto Brush

I just updated After Effects, curious to try the new Object Matte tool, and honestly, what the hell are you guys doing?

Can you please, for once, make a genuinely good decision about your software without making an existing workflow worse?

Why am I now forced to select an entire object when I only want to roto a specific part of it? And why is removing unwanted areas from that selection so unnecessarily difficult and inefficient?

The whole point of rotoscoping is control. Sometimes I need an entire person. Sometimes I need an arm, a hand, or just a specific section of an object.

The old, "dumb" Roto Brush gave me that flexibility. I could quickly paint what I wanted, subtract what I didn't, and get on with my work.

Now I'm fighting an AI tool that insists on deciding what my selection should be.

AI-assisted tools are supposed to make existing workflows faster, not replace flexibility with restrictions.

At this point, the old Roto Brush beats Object Matte in practically every aspect that matters to my workflow.

Please stop treating new technology as an excuse to take control away from experienced users.

Give us the ability to freely select, add, subtract, and refine regions without constantly fighting the tool.

I'm genuinely tired of seeing Adobe introduce supposedly smarter features that somehow make basic tasks more frustrating.
