@firepower Steemit is almost 2 years old now but is still in the beta stage! That itself shows how slow the development is. I understand that designing and maintaining something this big can be tedious and require a lot of rework as well. But being a developer myself I also know when the deadline's been stretched too far :D
As the community grows, there'll be more pressure to maintain the db, server etc which is understandable. But atleast the bugs in the UI can be taken up and resolved sooner is what I feel.
