I can't believe that we still  just have the crappy old average points command (well, ok it is fairly useful), but it really is just not good enough. I use illustrator a lot (and freehand, but the less said about that) and the ability to align and transform points just isn't there. Whilst working at a previous employ where we used pcs rather than macs, i was obliged to use CorelDraw (yuk, i thought). But i was pleasantly suprised - corel had features in that version (7), that are only now becoming standards in illust/fh10. In particular the node/anchor editing features were superb. 

In short, i would like the ability to be able to select a range of anchor points (from differing objects and paths even), then transform them (maybe using the standard bounding box transform that whole objects use), i.e. SCALE, ROTATE, SKEW, MIRROR the points with the ability to choose the origin. 

PLUS, i would like to be able to select a group of arbitrary points, then distribute them horizontally and vertically, average them and align them... 

If you could do this, it would be incredible - cheers
