WE SIMPLY WANT TO CLICK ON A TOOL AND CROP WHERE WE WANT. PERIOD.

No steps, no masking – just click on a tool that looks like a pair of scissors and CROP!

It is typical of Adobe to create a program like Illustrator CS6 that can make your lunch and drive your car but can’t do one of the most basic, fundamental task that is truly needed.

Actual cropping with AI . . . should not be necessary. Images in an Illustrator layout should be placed so they can be edited externally in PS or the image editor of your choice (Which should be PS).

Why in the world is there a benefit to having to use a second application to perform one of the most basic image editing tasks there is?
