I'd like to see AE use world coordinates (0,0,0 center) as opposed to =
screen coordinates based off of comp size. Although I'm sure it would be =
quite complicated to change at this point, It seems like this should =
have been done as a first step when re-architecting the 3d system for =
CS6. This would make everything from scripting to 3d app and camera =
tracking data integration much easier. not to mention making it easier =
to center something=85 etc.

A graph editor that's not tied to the timeline (so I can dock it =
elsewhere and see and use both), and works like a decent 3d app's graph =
editor works, offers options to auto-key all, only changed parameters, =
or off, and allows me to still manipulate the animation path in the comp =
window.

"Faster raytracing, not Nvidia dependent".   Me too. This choice to use =
GPU vs CPU makes most render farms useless (if using AE's 3D). I don't =
know of any company whose render farms have high powered video cards. =
Sidenote: I can't seem to have AE and any 3D app open at the same time =
without random hanging or crashing. I can have multiple 3D apps open =
without this problem so I'd venture a guess that it's not them.

And to Chris Zwar's point, I'm also concerned about adding nodal =
compositing to AE, partly because I don't think they could implement it =
well without negatively affecting it's main strengths, which to me are =
it's timeline and time-based animation tools. Doing a lot of keyframe =
animation or motion graphics pretty much sucks in Nuke. AE is a better =
compositor than Nuke is a motion graphics animation tool - by far=85=20
