Hay IStonia, I have some nice ideas that will improve our workflow.
Now we have really great Hard edge workflow but we need to add to it some new selection commands.
1. Select Hard Edge Island.
So this is what I call hard edge Island, it is Polygons, Edges or Vertexes that are surrounded by hard edges:
So if I select some Polygons inside Hard Edge Island and run this command it will select all polygons inside this Hard Edge Island. The same thing with vertexes and edges.
So if I select this polygon:
And run command it will select All Island:
And this:
Also I made this video to show you my idea:

2. Select Hard Edge.
So it will work this way:
You select one edge and it will select full Hard Edge.

3. Select Hard Edges That are not Creased.
Why we need it, so we have this object red is creased edges:
Then I go to the Hard edge mode and made this extrude:
After I subdivided it I have this:
As you can see to crease that new uncresed edges you have to select them by hands but if we would have this command - Select Hard Edges That are not Creased it would be only one click.
It have to work in SubD and in Hard edge mode.
It is very simple object that is good for explanation but in real life there are more complex objects where you have to select a lot of edges and this tool would be really great.

So these tools will really make our life easier, and give us new way of work, I do not meet anything like this in any other apps.
Summary:
1. Select Hard Edge Island.
2. Select Hard Edge.
3. Select Hard Edges That are not Creased.
And they have to work in SubD and Hard Edge mods.
