Thanks for your feedback, and I appreciate your frustration at what you feel is insufficient progress on XD's part. If you have anything concrete that you'd like us to look at, we're more than happy to hear specific ideas that you're interested in - and, as you probably know, we have our feature request database at https://adobexd.uservoice.com that you can add individual ideas to.
As for your frustration about the pace of the features that come from XD, I will point out that XD releases 6 times as often as Photoshop and Illustrator, which means that each release has a smaller slice. The release you just dismissed? Happened just a few weeks after we released Stacks, Scroll Groups, and design tokens, each of which unlocked a series of workflows that our users have been asking for.
Every feature requires integration with the complex ecosystem we've built around XD - everything from coediting to sharing to plugins to even our basics have to work with each other. Our features are researched, designed, developed, and tested, and some of the features you see have lead times on the order of years, not weeks. But more importantly, we are deeply committed to making each release incrementally better and are iterating quickly.
So, while I hear your frustration that your particular needs are not being met, I also have to say that we're very proud of the partnership we have with our customers and of the team that builds this product.
