My biggest problem with Blender centres on the lack of a camera target point that stays as a fixed location no matter how the camera object is moved, It's a total pain to have to constantly fiddle around trying to get the camera to centre in the screen whenever you move its position. This is standard with 3ds max and is one of the main reasons I still use the program so please, please, please bring this ancient camera into the 2020's as it's just not up to it anymore.
