What was the purpose in removing the visibilty of cropmarks?

Question

1). What was the purpose in removing the visibilty of cropmarks?
2). Why, when I go to create a jpeg using 'Save for web & devices', are my cropmarks ignored?
3). How is this new pop-up slider bar for gradients, better? It is absolutely unwieldy, and frustrating and complicates what was very simple.
I am a professional using your product ever since Illustrator88. What you've done here are not improvements. What you've done is uselessly tinker with things that worked perfectly. Why?

I frankly don't care what you think, Wade. I don't recall seeking your input at all. As I said earlier, I thought this forum was moderated by Adobe. I thought I was asking Adobe. Did I post "hey, Wade Zimmerman, let me get your advice"? No, I didn't. And believe me, just because you can't think of a reason, that doesn't mean there are none.
I set up print jobs in Illustrator. If you throw crops on the artboard when you start, you don't have to sweat format saves such as PDFs or save-to-web jpegs (which are less memory intensive than just saving to jpeg), grabbing content from outside the artboard. I realize there is a clip to artboard option in save-for-web, and a newly added 'use artboards' option when saving a PDF, but prior to CS4 you didn't need to mess with it, for everything to come out fine. My jpegs and PDFs are for client review. I realize you "do not need crop marks for web publishing", but when you use (in CS3) object>crop area, every other format you save respects those crops. I never said they should be visible in 'save-for-web', just respected. I want them visible when I set them on my artboard.
By the way, You're the only that I see in this thread, who says I'm complaining about nothing (frankly, I wouldn't care if everyone was). Do me a favor, Wade. Don't ever give me the benefit of your smug certainty or your "more logical approaches" on any further posts I may make. Let me suffer. There are a million ways to use this application. To assume that if you can't conceive of a use or process then it must be wrong, just drips with arrogance. If I want cropmarks, and apply them, then I want to SEE them on the artboard.
