Another useful "trick" is use shift+MMB to get the axis depending on the stroke (like softimage MMB).

When we used to teach maya the thing that students battled the most with was blendshapes. Mostly because they would get the process right 9 out of 10 times, but just trying to trouble shoot that 1/10 caused so many issues. Also students trying to change geometry after blend shapes caused so many issues. If there was some nice weight map system like they use in Modo that would be awesome. Something easy to understand that didn’t require multiple hidden heads would be a start ;) On that any one have a decent replacement for the tweak tool. This having to select and move instead of doing it in one motion will drive me to kill something.
