If we want to Extend the behavior we have to execute "DoDefault()" every time in every child's Event/Method if we want the parent's Event/Method to fire, which I think is really a pain in the a##.

No, this default behaviour didn't change. IMHO if it did, it would break too much code in existing apps. Also I think that extra properties for every method will overburden a class and make it difficult to maintain. Personally, DODEFAULT() works just fine for me as it allows me to run the parent class code where I want it to fire.
