Smart bevel feedback/annoyances

[generalpurposesformyself]

Smart bevel seems really awesome so far, however I have 2 things to report:

-it'd be cool if it could flatten the outside faces so that we get perfect shading out of the box without needing to rely on weighted normals for example, it's already doable if we stack 2 smart bevels (1st one with depth = 1 and segments = 2, then you smart bevel the edge in the middle), however we need to select the edges manually and it can become a pain, this should be handled directly in one

-It struggles with hard corners, chamfers/soft corners are kinda necessary it seems (?)

The perfect shading out of the box is crucial.
Smart bevel is a step in the right direction but there should be an all in one solution for boolean + smart bevel with perfect shading, similar to existing plugins like SmoothBoolean for max and Hard Mesh for Maya. Currently both give cleaner results and are easier to use.
