Sadly, this is also my observation. Rhino literally lacks proper tools for control point manipulation. “MoveUVN” is not enough, and the rest few ones are not as good as their counterparts in Alias and VSR.
Not to mention the lack of “Explicit control” option in the major NURBS surfacing tools.
“Patch” is left unchanged since two decades ago or even more… “xNURBS” is what “Patch” should have been in modern days.
“Blend surface” even can’t create a clean surface while using the simplest possible input surface with just 2x2 control points…

The good news is that Rhino 28 looks promising.
