" Thanks for the platitudes/corporate line, but here's a bold, crazy idea from a 12-year CC power user: How about leaving the 2nd Gen email editor alone until AFTER those features are added to the 3rd Gen email editor? Your customers can't wait for some glorious day when the Gen3 editor might actually meets our needs. While you are "appreciating our concern" and "making sure to pass along our feedback," we still need to send emails. And let's face it. The stripped down Gen3 editor lacks essential features, such as the ability to tweak the HTML without losing the benefits of drag and drop editing. CC can yammer on about why the change to Gen3 is such a good thing, helps with compliance, blah, blah, blah. But, as the many comments on this forum demonstrate, we're not buying it. Your customers still want and need the features available in Gen2. And we need those capabilities NOW, not when (if ever) you have finished developing your "road map." Frankly, given the outcry about this (are you listening, CC?), the only "road map" many of your customers will follow is the one that takes us to a different provider.
