Well, what about a solution that allows you to collect all these components together, into a super component. Allow it to be exported and used in other files, but more importantly be able to open and edit it in place, allowing you to change and move the components and if needed make a unique copy that can be edited to fit other locations in the same file. I am sure there is a wish for such a solution somewhere but I can't post it just now, maybe Laszlo can find & share the link.

Hmm, that last one seems familiar but I think it is reliant on external files. If only we could create a module without having to export it, and also have the ability to edit the module in place much like we can with the Curtain Wall tool, then perhaps many of Todd's complex stair assembly problems might be solved.
I am not sure there is an existing wish for such a solution, at least it does not ring any bells for me at the moment, since what you are suggesting consists of multiple ideas, like sub-components/super-components, saving/creating library parts/components without GDL, and in-place editing.

I really don't care how the posts are created. All that I want to see is full control by the user to set posts in any location the user desires. And that those post then become the defining element of the railing.

They move around and take hours of manipulation of settings, which gets even more inconsistent the more you try to use adjust it. I am not sure what your experience has been Barry, but most users experience has been extremely frustrating. The key word is "Simplify" the Railing Tool. If you can use it and create any stair and railings that you can dream up, you need to reveal the mystery for everyone else. I am confused by your claim, even if you do have many stars by your name.
I am a little confused by this wish.
Already the railing tool allows you to place nodes exactly where you want the posts.
You don't have to associate to any elements if you don't want to, you can manually place each node.
