Even with it's wrinkles and creases, I would still very much appreciate to blend and create tangent surfaces on more than two edges.
With that being said, I learned about another tool used in Rhino called the "Match Surface" tool.
Basically, it will take two adjacent surfaces and their edges and either line them up with each other to create a nice corner or it will cause one or both of the surface edges to become tangent.
I read that it can also work on the surface curvature continuity as well.

Yes, I'm sure that both the Match Surface and Patch (>2 Edge Blend) commands have inherent imperfections, but those could probably be forgiven with their useful abilities.
