I'd like to see a transformer that replicates the Fanout function for writers. I.e. I want to be able to filter a feature by an attribute(s)

Would the AttributeFilter transformer work @lukeryan?
The thing about the fanout is that it's "dynamic" (outputs data according to what attributes it is fed). A transformer can't be dynamic in the same way, because you have to know which attributes are available, in order to be able to connect it to the next transformers.
Attribute Filter works when there is a small number of unique attributes, but when there is e.g. 100 unique attributes that you want to split out it is inconvenient. I know you can import a list from csv, but like you said, that's not dynamic either
