No doubt thousands of users scan directly into Photoshop via a Twain acquire plug-in. I've been doing that for many years with nary a problem.
Any software, poorly written, can be "a source for incompatibilities of all kinds". That is hardly an argument against a perfectly reasonable feature request.
Scan elsewhere (VueScan for instance) and place into AI for tracing.
When you invoke a Twain scanning module, you are scanning "elsewhere" (in my present case, in the scanning software that came with my Epson and Cannon scanners).
How is it more appropriate for me to enjoy the convenience of scanning a pencil sketch into Photoshop so I can put it on its own Layer and paint over it, than for me to do the same thing in Illustrator so I can draw over it?
