Separate Dimensions Issues cc 2017 + standard things ?

First of all, The ease in and out is broken when changed to separate dimensions. It's still not fixed and it's already CC 2017.

Again, isn't it quite obvious that you should be able to have separate dimensions in every vector property like Anchor point, scale 3d when you have access to tangents only in separate dimension mode ? Don't you have to fine tweak your animation in Value mode with tangents abilities?

If not, can we have the freedom to manipulate the tangent handles of value graph in combined vector mode pleaseeeeeeeee?

Just like scale property, you don't have to do separate dimension to have access to tangent handles in value mode. Why not in anchor point ? isn't it a vector property just like position and scale with x,y and z values ?

Why there is no tangent handles for position until i do separate dimension ? I didn't have to do separate dimension for scale and there is no option for separate dimension for scale too. but at least i could use tangent handles for scale xyz. why I have to do separate dimension for position xyz ?

This makes after effect's animation graph much difficult.

The speed graph is way confusing and difficult to tweak;  the value graph is 90% useless

Why does after effects has to be soooooo unique from all the animation package out there ? and soooooo much restrictions ?

Why can't it be standard like other programs like maya, 3dsmax, c4d ? because these are quite standard things right ?

Why can't we max/min 4 viewports ? top/left/front/prepective with shortcuts ?

Why there are so many camera navigation tools ? I always keep cycling through unified camera tool because that's what i use most and i forget that I m already insde that tool so i cycle through orbit,trackyxy, trackz, and finally unified camera tool ? Why can't it be standard with just Unified camera tool ? just like in all programs out there ? These software have odd camera tools which will not work for after effects ??? I just don't understand ?

Each time these softwares have new versions, they come up with big improvements, new features, like c4d have breakthrough features, maya 2017 have breakthrough features, What do you get in After effects ???? Honestly I think the only feature/benifit is improvement in speed. besides, tons of bugs, and most importantly they don't address the basic things. "The standard things".

There is no financial incentive for Adobe to make fixing the basic things a high-priority goal.  Expect more of the same.

May be you are right. They just don't care what's standard and basic needs of customers.

One more i forgot to point out, why there is no auto framing in graph editor ? or may be there is ?? im not aware of this feature which is a must actually in my thinking.

And you know what.

Everytime adobe releases new version and updates, I rush to check if this separate dimension/tangent handles feature have been added. and every time, I get what I already knew. I bet , Adobe will never have this feature in any feature version. Not in CC 2060. But I will also never stop looking for this feature, although I know they will never ever have it . They just don't care !!
