We use guides in our layouts with some frequency. Often, when I'm laying a map out, I'll create a lot of guides quickly and adjust them relative to each other. In ArcMap, I could quickly remove a guide by clicking it and "dragging" it off of the ruler with a quick swipe of my mouse. This does not seem to be a functionality in Pro; instead, you have to right click and choose "remove guide".

Similarly, to add a guide, in ArcMap, it was as simple as clicking the ruler where you wanted to add a guide. In Pro, it seems like the only way to add one guide is to right click the layer and choose "add guide". I understand that you can add multiple guides but for my workflow, it's nice to quickly click on the ruler to add a guide, move the guides around, and quickly remove them by just swiping them off the ruler.

Any chance this could be implemented in Pro?

To add multiple guides at the same time (which you can then manually adjust where needed), when right clicking to add guide - select "Add Guides". Select which orientation you want, and how you want them placed (I personally like evenly spaced) and it will drop a bunch. 

Likewise, when you want them all gone - you can right click on one and then choose "Remove All Guides" and they all disappear. 

I hope this helps in the interim.
