AD has always played politics with its upgrades, it's not about giving you the most efficient tools today, but releasing them in a slow staggered and incomplete fashion, so it takes several release and considerable investment before you actually get a functional addition to your workflow. they say it's so people have time to adjust to the change which is all so much commendable bullshit. Now and again they'll chuck a few sweets out when people get rowdy often followed by the statement "You SEE !!! we really do have your best interest at heart" or " WE really do listen to you !"
It's what they did for Syflex, Nex and the viewport enhancements in 3ds max to name just a few. and it's what they will do with bifrost, totting up every marginal update as a NEW feature. "New Bifrost! now with tear of Menus, Gasp !" Most of these modeling enhancements such as the shrink wrap are things that could have been added years ago, but are only being added in recent releases. i refuse to believe that these sort of tools are that difficult to implement. A lot of this shitty attitude hearkens back to the years of stagnation during the three package monopoly. You might argue that ICE took several release to have the functionality it has today... but then you would have to go watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0QOtmKNnuY and realize that ICE offered considerably more in its first incarnation, then Bifrost will in even it's third iteration.
