A clean export/import feature from Indesign to XD/Illustrator would be fantastic. By ”clean” I mean preserved text boxes and no strange vector masks etc - simply put, a well structured XD/AI file.
The biggest problem today, in my opinion, is that text boxes gets scrambled when you export/import between Indesign and Illustrator. To my knowledge, the file exchange support between XD and AI works quite well nowdays.

I find it strange how the paragraph and color styles work in XD, as there is no strong ”link” between a paragraph style, a color style and the graphics on the art board.
Please compare this with how character styles and color swatches work in Indesign, which in my opinion have a logical and great style management.
If you modify a color swatch in Indesign, all objects with that color changes. As well as if you change the color of a paragraph style, it will change all paragraph instances in the layout. To my knowledge, this is not quite the case in XD.
Another superb feature in Indesign is the ability to update a character style FROM a paragraph in the layout (by placing the text cursor in the text and right click and choose ”Update character style”kr. I would love this feature in XD!
Indesign also features ”parent” and ”child” styles, which I also would love to have in XD.
All these flaws would be gone though, if there were a proper import/export function between Indesign-XD-Illustrator. Then we could work seamlessly in all applications, and utilize each of their strong points.
