Yes I did work on this. The plan was always to replace the guts of Center with the pivot stuff I added to kinematics since it could handle rotation. We just never got around to actually doing that and finishing off that part of the pivot workflow...
As I said before I always thought the way center worked was a bit hacky (push points in one direction and modifying the transform in another) but it seems the interactive/pervasive nature of it far outweighed the strange way it works for you guys. Now I'm curious if it was even on anyone's top 5 list. ;-) I'm not a really good person to comment on the general issues discussed in relation to Maya workflow. While working on Soft I worked on hair, animation layers, lip sync, modeling, object view/isolate, tools, kinematics, fcurves, ICE (well in fact every part of the software except Rendering) My current involvement in Maya is limited to the modeling team but I feel pretty comfortable that I can have a positive impact on workflow in that area.
