Entrance animation/exit animation - can we do emphasis?

I think one thing that generates frustration is that some requests feel like "low-hanging fruit." That perception may be wrong, but if it is, Articulate never explains why it is wrong. So some seemingly "easy" requests languish for years and it leaves the impression that Articulate just isn't paying attention or doesn't care. 

This request is a good example. There are already entrance animations, exit animations, and motion path animations implemented in Storyline, so to an outside observer it seems like adding emphasis animations would just be more of the same and not too hard to implement. Yet there's been no forward motion on this request in over 6 years.

It's definitely not at the top of my priority list (basic, foundational stuff like being able to combine ANDs and ORs in a trigger are way higher up in my wish-list), but I wouldn't complain if some of the smaller, easier stuff got released first because it makes sense to clear out some quick-fixes that people want from time to time. Maybe an adjustment in how Articulate prioritizes requests would help, giving a little more weight to something when it is easy to implement?

It's hard to give sound advice from my outside position of ignorance, but the optics of 6+ years waiting for a seemingly simple feature is not great and perhaps could be a trigger for some rethinking about how these things are prioritized internally at Articulate.

Love the tool, love these forums, but I think there is room for improvement in this area.

Respectfully,
