To whoever worked on Chamfer recently, my sincere appreciation

This change is a month or two old at this point (not in the most recent update), but the solid-body version of Chamfer now parallels Fillet in that there can be multiple edge groups with different chamfering settings.

This is the kind of solid, obvious update that Fusion 360 could use more of. Not because Fusion 360 is a dumpster fire in need of dousing, but because it's so close to being perfect already. The remaining, niggling issues really stand out against the general background of solidity and consistency.

I'm sure there's an underlying technical reason why chamfering has been different from filleting in the past (perhaps fillets can interact with each other in a way that chamfers can't?). But from a user's perspective, I've always found it somewhat mystifying that the UIs for Fillet and Chamfer have been inconsistent.

Anyway, someone championed this change and someone worked on engineering it--perhaps the same person. I'm sure it didn't score many points in whatever internal Autodesk system tracks contributions for "adding value." But for me it's huge. Whoever you people are, I assume you felt compelled to spend time and effort on this because it made Fusion 360 more perfect and more beautiful. I just want to reflect back to you that it is indeed more perfect and more beautiful now. Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback, @GRSnyder - it means a lot to us. I have passed this link onto the dev team that worked on these enhancements.
