Gotta agree with Brian on this one. In the last couple/few years, there have been developments that I now couldn't live without. Action Gmasks, multiple outputs, Pixel Spread (which is simply magic), 3D lens flares, Denoise, etc. I think the new Flame/Smoke interface integration is a good thing, and moving in the right direction. However, I am forever frustrated by lingering bugs that should have been zapped a long time ago. I've been lobbying for just ONE 'stability' release that has no bells and whistles, but takes care of dumb stuff from a decade ago. I know, that doesn't market well, but would make for fewer embarrassing moments with clients, etc.
