Fully agreed. I felt the same way about steem when I joined, and still do. Some grumbles to bring up, but mainly I am excited about the potential here. I believe Dan and Ned really do a remarkable job of listening to the masses, and it shows. We have to respect the time frame--things will evolve and become fabulous over time. It's already a lot better than when I started a couple months ago. I think we get stuck in a time-freeze because a week on Steem feels like a year sometimes. Users tend to get a little impatient because it's like "dog years" in the blogosphere. But in reality, they make changes fairly rapidly considering the cumbersome sword they wield here. It is becoming something worth writing home about, and I'm just thrilled to be an early adopter and contribute in my almost-mid-sized minnow way.
