Mark-Kashman. Thanks for the response. Appreciate you taking the time going through my individual questions and addressing them.
Couple of comments based on your comments
1. Search. I'd love to have a play with it to see if it covers the basics of what we discussed in the other blog. Unfortunately the guidance on getting it setup is not working. If I follow the instructions to get it started, I end up on a different page (text below) as your instructions and cannot activate it:
2. Great
3.Understood, and for some apps where SharePoint was the focus, we now have new services like Planner, Office 365 Groups, etc).
So if I understand you right here, you're saying there's a chance these lists (such as Tasks) which has been a key part of building SharePoint based solutions might not ever be upgraded to Modern? This has some very serious repercussions for potentially thousands of apps built on this technology. I agree, Planner is great, but its not a SharePoint task list. You cannot create custom columns, views, content types, etc. etc. Microsoft might add that one day, but we're living in the now. My customers does not want to wait 2 years. Can you honestly tell me that you can reproduce a Task based tracking application built with a PowerApps and flow on top of it can be reproduced in Planner?
4. Subsites. It's not a big issue for me, but , many customers prefer a old school Information Architecture with a top level site and subsites. I know it's possible currently, but only as classic Team subsites
5. Page Layouts - Great. Looking forward to it.
6. Nav - Great.
7. Bugs. Yeah, the support experience isn't great at the moment. Very few or no actual tickets actually reach the product team. Tickets all just reach your outsourced O365 support team and die there. One support person actually advised me log a bug it under User voice and get as many people possible to vote for it as I had a better chance of getting it resolved there.. (Not even kidding)
