First experience with a public report as a replacement for public dashboards

I was a big fan of public dashboards and was disappointed when they were withdrawn but then I saw that reports could be made public and so I tried that out as a replacement for the first time. Unfortunately, what I found was a very buggy product with many limitations:Broken visualisations created by the import from the old results. These are easily spotted because the right hand bar shows code for the field names where the page generation failed. These cannot be resized, they can’t have titles edited and more. I had to recreate about 10 visualisations to get around this. Removing the title doesn’t remove the space where the title goes. There are two places to set the decimal point, which took me ages to find. One on the settings for the report, which half does a global change and half doesn’t and then the hidden Options tab on a specific field in the right hand bar. Column headers are misaligned. The text of comments cannot be selected and copied. This appears to be intentional!! And the worst one of all, there’s no “pageless” format so you’re forced into unnecessary work of fitting things on pages when almost nobody left on the planet things in terms of pages for online dashboards. Do I need to switch to another survey product or is this ever going to be a quality product to rival the old public dashboards?
