AnimLibrary And Baking
Recently moved from maya to blender , mainly focusing on animation.
The transition has been fairly smooth and I am enjoying animating in blender but there are two major elements blender is missing - an Animation library and Animation Baking.
Studio Library for maya is a great tool and is a good refence. There has been a tool released similar to the studio lirary , such as GAOLIB - but this has proven to be quite faulty and almost impossible to use.
Another really frustrating thing is Baking animation in blender . Blenders baking options don't allow for you to bake 1 control without breaking your animation, you have to bake everything within the scene all at once . Maya's baking is also a good reference to work from
These are two major tools that help speed up the process of animating and from my perspective not having it is a Major downfall to blenders animation workflow .
Thanks for your time. Megan

For the best function of the site, it is best to separate each proposal in a different post. It makes voting and discussions easier, and also enhances referencing. It would be nice if you could split the baking into a different pose.
Also overall, please detail precisely what you are looking for as a feature, what issues you currently have, and avoid mentioning other softwares for licence concerns.
The more you detail, the more people can understand your proposal. Besides I doubt most people have a Maya licence and Studio Library to check manually what you mean. Including the Blender Institute.
Animation Library
There is an Asset Browser in Blender since version 3.0. Combined with the Pose Library addon, it is still a work in progress, but as far as poses and animation assets are concerned, it is getting close to Studio Library.
From version 3.5 (not released yet), a lot of changes will be made to not require any extra addon any more (say goodbye to Pose Library). See more here:

Could you detail precisely what is missing from Blender's current Asset Browser ?
Baking
If I understand, you are having issues baking single controllers? Could you detail them? Maybe it's a bug?
