If there was better and more extensive handling of AE templates that transferred to the NE so much of that could be obviated, things like being able to set flags for filtering, locking connection/disconnection and having ordering respected, and being able to properly default them. That's kind of a theme with Maya, there is a lot you can do to ease the pain, but you all too frequently need to do it over and over again, or only goes the easy 80% and not the hard final 20%, so in the end you don't bother all that often...
