I am for example still waiting when Designer would get any convenient manual touching/finishing tools or otherwize Painter get something like node based level of a… -

Re: Confusion with Normal baking issues around edges/borders
Sure. To be fair, since doing the maps at 4K, the issue doesn't look to be much of a problem, and some areas are hidden anyway.

Versatility/flexibility: You can work with different level editors and its tools. You also know what happens around you because you have a… -
Re: Level designer vs. Enviro artist
My summary would be: A level is a discrete section of a game which has a beginning and an end, and does not comprise the entire game.
