# Slow, buggy, poor interface

 * Maybe coming from a non design or non computer direction, this plugin makes sense,
   but it’s janky and frustrating to work with, at best. I would also add the free
   features seem to be functional but they still pack the interface with paid features
   that make it even more frustrating to work with because they junk everything 
   up. Otherwise, I found it to be extremely buggy with an interface that reminds
   me of trying to design a layout in microsoft word, except unlike word, if you
   make certain changes, there is literally no way to undo them, it can wipe out
   your page with a simple mis click and there’s no undoing it aside from backing
   out to a previous save entirely, assuming you have one. Similarly, recreating
   or duplicating something like an existing container, can’t be done, or it’s again
   not intuitive. Making a new container, particularly in some of the existing themes,
   makes it impossible to match existing ones, there doesn’t seem to be a way to
   just duplicate something or see the underlying reason why some block have huge
   margins while new ones seemingly cannot obtain the same ones, this may be an 
   issue with some of the available kits though, not the base plugin, not sure. 
   This gets even worse when it comes to features like forms, once you get fields
   vertically, there’s basically no way to get input groups back to 2 colums and
   the insert function can’t find form fields, it only allows for inserting an entire
   form. Looking through reddit and forum thread, almost every bug or unwanted behavior
   is blamed on wordpress core, as if these aren’t known issues and features and
   can’t be compensated for, hint: this is literally the purpose of programming 
   an interface and theme plugin… It’s not intuitive, kits for example don’t carry
   over to new pages???, it’s like every page is a new website, the admin interface
   is extremely slow and buggy, templates often don’t load at all, paid ones usually
   find a way ironically. If I use the html editor/viewer on a block, I have to 
   try and recover it every time, even if I didn’t make a change. I could probably
   make a complaint list for an hour on this. I’m pretty shocked this was released
   as a paid production product, if the free version feels like ai slopped together
   an interface that barely works, it doesn’t seem stable in any way for a paid 
   version to be something I’d even remotely consider.
