(1) <u>Welding vertices. (automatic or manual)</u>
Fairly critical for any complex vertex manipulation. If you use the Triangle view, you can see how things get messy pretty quickly.
(2) <u>Full Object Selection</u>
Sure you can make a level as one continuous mesh, but it seems it's a lot more efficient to have multiple objects for various modules of mesh. But right now, it's hugely inefficient to create mesh and then move it about; you have to select ever face of the object(s) first.
The ability to double-click or alt-click a face to select every adjoining, welded face would be extremely useful.

I do wonder if 2 is possible though as it is all faces instead of blocks like it was in hammer.
Maybe instead of all sides of object selection we could have a grouping tool instead. Like in hammer where it allowed you to group multiple brushes, this would allow you to group any faces/object and then when you select any face/brush/thingie in the group, it selects the rest too.
Would be a bit more work as you would have to manually group stuff after making it but i think it would speed up mapping (atleast it would for me :D).

Should be perfectly possible, you can do it in any good 3d package, you can usually also set a maximum angle for the selection too.
