Why aren't new filters part of interface?

[Ray Beez]

I'm really baffled as to why the new blend filters are not part of the general interface (in the same way that ALPHA, TINT, etc are simple options in a drop-down menu).

Is it simply because this stuff was dropped in at the last minute after the Adobe merger?

I was really expecting this stuff (blur, blend modes) to work in the same way and be tweenable in the timeline to boot.

Oh awesome! I didn't even know I was in "Basic" mode. (I'm using the Trial version while waiting for Studio 8 to arrive).
