"... Right now, modeling with history on becomes very slow after a period of time and constantly requires deleting history to remain responsive. Furthermore, your history becomes a giant mess after a while, as every little modeling operation is added to the history. Modeling with construction history off doesn't work very well because you can not use the interactive modeling tools - you have to know which numbers to plug in beforehand.
My suggestion for modeling tools is to have the option to have modeling tools add a generic "edit mesh" node in the history that consolidates any mesh operations such as bevels, tweaks, extrudes, ect- but only has the last mesh operation as something that can be edited- the rest is collapsed.
Essentially, what I am asking for is making modeling properly supported with construction history off."
