I wish Illustrator can tell the length if any path

I wish the canvas size was unlimited

I wish you could specify the height of letters

I wish the document info panel can list all the colours present in a file.

One can specify the height of the letters in Illustrator using Font Height Options.

Enable them in Character panel’s fly out menu and choose one of many options there, like x-heigh or Cap height.

The original post was from 2019, years before the Font Height Options and Large Canvas Mode were added. No vector drawing application has an unlimited size canvas (regardless of the occasional claim I hear).

I still wish it was possible to align text objects to other objects via the baseline or distribute multiple point text objects via their baselines. One of Illustrator's competitors has been able to do that going back to the 1990's.

I would love to have the ability to make the stoppers on a gradient step like in Cinema 4D. So each colour doesn't blend between each other.

Tried but when I setup the account and go through the steps it tells me my email isn't valid. I cant login to do so.

1: see the Document Info panel. Set it to "Objects" in the panel menu and select a path.

3: You can somehow do that by applying "outline Object" as an effect and select the option "Use preview bounds" in Preferences > General. Text stays live. Before creating a PDF you need to delete the effect from the object.
