I am wondering if maybe we could get some sort of "text to guides" instead of what we have now. It can be cumbersome to work with text set to lines, because it then puts into account the invisible path, such as a circle (which I use 75% of the time at my full time job)... Effects like contour, 3d, and even simple rotation can be quite annoying to make visible, ctrl select, and rotate, then make invisible again for example.
