Yup. Solidworks Feature Manager needs to be redesigned.

Some how in all your Apple bullshit you missed this.

"SW Parent/Child functionality is pretty basic and very dated. For
some people who just like to see the information in a different
layout, SolidMap's approach may be fine, but the things I would look
for would be more detailed and covering more types of relations.

In particular, SolidMap would have value to me if it had stuff that is
either difficult or impossible to get from SolidWorks currently:

- detail about incontext relations (sketch, feature, part, assembly)
- warnings about circular relations in assemblies
- warnings about relations to things in assemblies that require
multiple rebuilds (incontext features, component patterns, etc.)
- the interface to be laid out so you can see more than a few features
at a time
- option to show the feature tree in a purely history based
representation (not indented and reordered for parent/child)
- identify orphan features (have no relatives in the tree, and also
features with no children in the tree)
- information about inserted parts, split parts, etc.
- information about references as relating to configurations
- possibly combine Feature Statistics, since that info is already
available"

Maybe it's only high school dropouts that have difficulty with SW's
Feature Manager as I don't and there don't seem to be many (any?)
complaints from the other *real* users.

Shows SolidWorks Corp. still doesn't get it. They are not even close
to getting it.

LOL....no original thought there Jon. You just posted your crib notes
and will soon plagiarize, parrot and post it as your own.
