The UI. While any UI is good for shell savvy users, it will still be good to have a more user friendly and modern looking UI. This will attract more high level developers and enterprise system architects and will convince them that this is a strong software in terms of capabilities. Also, the online resources and documentation for this software, its plugins and extensions, and the commonly used software pairings could be a bit more easily accessible in structured unified space. For now, setting things up and using the different capabilities sometimes requires visits to many sites and locations to achieve this goal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
