I'm with you Death. I have the same experience and desires you mention. If you really need a low cost parametric modeller Atom3D is available. It can also calculate mass properties. I think it would be a good supplement to MoI. Michael is one man he can't do everything. Development time is going to be slow. Given how many CAD programs already exist, it makes sense to pick and choose what is going to make MoI better and how it fits in with the rest of the world. Sure it would be great to have one, low cost, CAD program that could do everything. But that's not realistic, especially from a one man development crew. I wish people would stop beating a dead horse. I read these posts over and over again. The same thing time and again. It's not happening' get over it. This isn't directed at any one person. Just 'all' of the people that post the same derivative thing. I use such and such and I want MoI to be like that and I want it yesterday. When is it going to stop. Probably never.
