First of all, The ease in and out is broken when changed to separate dimensions. It's still not fixed and it's already CC 2017.
Again, isn't it quite obvious that you should be able to have separate dimensions in every vector property like Anchor point, scale 3d when you have access to tangents only in separate dimension mode ? Don't you have to fine tweak your animation in Value mode with tangents abilities?
If not, can we have the freedom to manipulate the tangent handles of value graph in combined vector mode pleaseeeeeeeee?
Just like scale property, you don't have to do separate dimension to have access to tangent handles in value mode. Why not in anchor point ? isn't it a vector property just like position and scale with x,y and z values ?
Why there is no tangent handles for position until i do separate dimension ? I didn't have to do separate dimension for scale and there is no option for separate dimension for scale too. but at least i could use tangent handles for scale xyz. why I have to do separate dimension for position xyz ?
This makes after effect's animation graph much difficult.
The speed graph is way confusing and difficult to tweak; the value graph is 90% useless 
Why does after effects has to be soooooo unique from all the animation package out there ? and soooooo much restrictions ?
Why can't it be standard like other programs like maya, 3dsmax, c4d ? because these are quite standard things right ?
Why can't we max/min 4 viewports ? top/left/front/prepective with shortcuts ?
Why there are so many camera navigation tools ? I always keep cycling through unified camera tool because that's what i use most and i forget that I m already insde that tool so i cycle through orbit,trackyxy, trackz, and finally unified camera tool ? Why can't it be standard with just Unified camera tool ? just like in all programs out there ? These software have odd camera tools which will not work for after effects ??? I just don't understand ?
Each time these softwares have new versions, they come up with big improvements, new features, like c4d have breakthrough features, maya 2017 have breakthrough features, What do you get in After effects ???? Honestly I think the only feature/benifit is improvement in speed. besides, tons of bugs, and most importantly they don't address the basic things. "The standard things".

May be you are right. They just don't care what's standard and basic needs of customers.
One more i forgot to point out, why there is no auto framing in graph editor ? or may be there is ?? im not aware of this feature which is a must actually in my thinking. 
And you know what.
Everytime adobe releases new version and updates, I rush to check if this separate dimension/tangent handles feature have been added. and every time, I get what I already knew. I bet , Adobe will never have this feature in any feature version. Not in CC 2060. But I will also never stop looking for this feature, although I know they will never ever have it . They just don't care !!

the anchor point property is the only one of the transform properties that doesn't have available bezier value adjustments through the value graph.
what are the big possibilities in animating the anchor point with fine tweaking bezier handles for values I wonder? if you do feel you want the ability to change value graph of anchor point, you could pickwhip it's property via expression to 3 sliders and go to town.
tell you what - here's a super quick way to do this:
use the preset "separate XYZ Position" in the effects and preset panel and apply it to your layer. now cut the expression from the position and paste it to your anchor point. DONE! (average setup time: 15 seconds for the average user). now you can create a preset yourself call it Seperate XYZ Anchor point and get this done next time in 2 seconds.
Why there is no tangent handles for position until i do separate dimension ?
that can be useful. maybe there's a good explanation for it.
I rush to check if this separate dimension/tangent handles feature have been added. and every time, I get what I already knew.
have you tried asking it here? Feature Request/Bug Report Form in fact here's a thread where Adobe's former product manager admits that very few users asked for this feature on another property : Re: Why is it not possible to separate the dimensions of the top position in a rectangle?
the value graph is 90% useless
this is simply not true. if you can't use it 90% of the time, there is something wrong with your workflow.
I always keep cycling through unified camera tool because that's what i use most and i forget that I m already insde that tool so i cycle through orbit,trackyxy, trackz, and finally unified camera tool ? Why can't it be standard with just Unified camera tool ?
you don't have to cycle if you use your mouse. try this -
select the unified camera tool and:
left click - Orbit tool
scroll wheel click - Track Z tool
Right Click - Track XY tool
what's the big difference between this and C4D 1,2,3 + CLICK for the camera? actually come to think of it... it's easier! you only use your mouse and no additional keyboard strokes required!
Why can't we max/min 4 viewports ? top/left/front/prepective with shortcuts ?
if you mean a shortcut for toggling 1 view setup to 2, or 4 - we don't have that but you can ask for it. if you mean shortcuts for replacing views->you have those and you can even decide what to assign for some.
why there is no auto framing in graph editor ?
what do you mean by "auto framing" do you mean auto-zoom to the graph height? because you can do that. each of these icons at the bottoms has information about it when you hover over it
c4d have breakthrough features, maya 2017 have breakthrough features, What do you get in After effects ?
here is what you get - you get an unmatched top of the line software for motion graphics that is used for award winning studios all over the world and an industry standard composition software from the low budget average joe to J.J Abrams and star wars. a software that is so versatile it's mind blowing what you can do with it. here you go: What is After Effects?.
not that it's a pissing contest (because these software can and should work together) but I think that if you would check how many users use any of these software, Ae's numbers would be staggering in comparison and this is evident example that many users find it useful.
final words if I may speak freely (this is a community after all):
it looks to me you have got some training to do. Dave's rant's aren't an example for anything - he is just tired and gave up and would join in on anybody saying anything negative about the software while most of the time disregarding facts. but you... maybe you are still young 
(I hope) so train yourself, Ae has probably got the best supporting community and resource material online than any other software. go do amazing stuff and if you feel you can help make this software greater then submit a feature request and make it better for all of us. don't be a hater.
this is my 2 shekels on the matter, no offence, take it or leave it.t
#correction :
5. about auto framing the graph, i know ther eis a BUTTON(no shortcut), but why doesn't ae do it automatically when i select an animated property ??? or does it ? there is simply no significanse to see empty graph because you click on a property and u want to seee the graph. but the graph is way up / way down / way left or right ? at least you can show the graph. but why empty ?
also no possible to bind a shortcut. i already checkedit
yup there is not doubt, i still don't know many things. I used from 3.1 but doen't mean i am the master. I still don't know so many things, infact some basic stuffs too. I just came to know that i can zoom around in timeline with alt and middle click . may be this will help.
Thanks for all ur help. I'll try to read as much as i can 
I'm little busy working. gott a deadline today. i'll get back to this post later.
