Ben,
What I meant was a suggestion box inside the application.
Tried and proven systems. Well, then you talk about a standard and everything is the same after a while. That will not happen, I hope. Cinema 4D will not become Maya, Maya will not become MODO, Modo Will not become Cinema 4D: implosion.
From the outside, things always look much more straightforward than to implement a system that is aiming for a new future proof system. Long story, and not the place here nor my interest to discuss.
That re-entering process of the data is certainly not a long time goal of anyone. All I can say is, I have the impression that was voiced more often than not and is understood. Again, not an official position, just my idea.
You are not negative, you put your way of creating and the needs required to feel un-constrained and supported first. Nothing wrong with that. So far, I have the impression to have supported this.
Cheers
