Camera facing free rotation
It would be extremely beneficial if we could choose a "camera facing" rotation mode in the rotate tool.
Right now the closest you get is the "view" but it is handled inefficiently and thus results in a non-deterministic rotation.
What you want to achieve from free rotation is that the object you rotate ONLY rotates on the axis produced from a line between the center of the object to the center of the camera. This should result in the object rotating as if it was actually a flat piece of cardboard.
see the gif below where it is quite noticeable that the object rotates around an abstract angle and not a deterministic angle.
Having a cam face rotate mode would greatly increase productivity because it would allow the user to "select axis" by moving the camera - which has shown to be the fastest freeform animation mode.
