It would be super nice to have feathering options directly inside the Octane light, without the need to add maps.

Distribution feather to get hard spot light or diffuse light (sharp or soft shadows) and a way to drive the gradient orientation, like in this video at 5min30 :

To be honnest using gradient or any texture in lights is quite a pain in 3ds Max, I've been "forced" to use Redshift for 2 month and this is so much intuitive.
It's been 12 years that I use Octane so I'm deeply attached to this software, I don't want to make the switch !

I attach a video to show you how it is weirdly handled :
