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.

Credit to him, but I feel like with thousands I've paid to Adobe over the years, I shouldn't have to pay another $100 dollars to a third party to get basic functionality

Yes this would also be great for parenting. It is such a mess how parenting is right now - its like looking in the yellow pages for an phone number or address. Also you have no indication if a layer has a child.

Folders already exist in the project tab, so maybe someone could simply copy them into the timeline and create a basic hide UI? Technically, it would be an infinitely duplicated "shy button" feature with tagging ability.

They can't even fix simple UI bugs and you wish they added something far more useful.
They are either ignorant or lack of human resources. I can't find more explanations.

Part of me thinks they're going to stop updating AE completely and let it become legacy software.
