I'd like to second the request for user-defined chart styles. This one feature would have allowed my company, which produces dozens of charts daily, to move from DeltaGraph to Illustrator. Also currently problematic is the way some changes don't "stick" to the graph when the data are updated, as outlined in this blog post: <http://rwillustrator.blogspot.com/2006/06/teris-wisdom-graphs-that-dont-stick.html> In researching the possibility of abandoning DeltaGraph for Illustrator, I concluded that most major publications use Illustrator in their workflow for creating graphs, but do not actually use Illustrator's graphing tools. They've all created elaborate workarounds by using scripts or by creating a graph in Excel and pasting into Illustrator. Bringing the graphing tools up to the same level of polish as the rest of the application would be huge (and, I'm sure, a huge undertaking, but well worth it).
