I=E2=80=99m hoping that the reason there are less f= eatures being introduced during the recent release cycles is that they are w= orking to keep improving the render engine.

I=E2=80=99m still disappointed about that promise years ago to not add new features until they made it faster.  Going by what I read here, the rendering is still slower than in CC13, the 2014 release.

I see a couple of things are now GPU accelerated.  I can use that and keyboard mapping, but my work won=E2=80=99t be improved by anything else on their list.
