I agree and I use it often, but that doesn't mean having VNAV/Managed work in heading mode wouldn't be a nice feature. It would have been helpful on many arrivals in AMS. Plus, pretty much every time I touch the V/S knob, the Captain freaks out...then goes on about how this isn't the 737, blah blah blah. Then when he gets a short notice restriction, rather than going to V/S, he scrambles through the 12 step process, fix info, abeam, pull for heading, etc... Then is full boards and speeding up when he figures out we are way above the path.
