Phil, have you ever heard 'one swallow does not a summer make'? ;) I'm not saying they never listen to community (or betatesters), nor that the program is stuck in one place. But you can easily read many of topics here - even simpliest concerns, which you can easily assume will work as expected and they don't - repeated through years, get the same answer "you can submit feature request!". Requstes, that are basically sending an emails which are probably not even read. There are no 'feature tracker' where users can vote for some functionality, so you can truly see what does people want (I come here once in a month to criticize, but I bet there are a lot of people that simply doesn't have time to go around and post some 'you should change this! and this!). Well, if users wouldn't post their workarounds, the majority of ideas here will be struck down with "sorry, you cannot do that, submit feature request". Good that we go sometimes so around 'intended behavior', that impossibles things seems to be possible with some extra, extra work.

Like, for ten years, I still don't get, why there is no 'holding' of exit animations so you can simply trigger something to hide on click. Now 90% of my slides are 1000s long ;) why no pulsing effect, scaling elements? Those are things that are for years in every webiste/application. I just pulled out the 'slide number' as silly update, but I think you can get the point - the whole scences, multiple screens, big courses and we get slide number as built-in feature after 10 years of program existence? When probably everyone have their own patent for doing that :)

Of course I don't say, that EVERY feature should be considered. That would be silly ;) But there are problems, admitted by support and staff, that highly impacts the general workflow. And they are not fixed. I can submit feature request, i can hear from the support 'I will pass that to developer team', but after several of that kind replies, it becomes clear, that that's just excuse reply as "Ok, we got it, but what would you do to us? ;) sit there patiently and wait".

The perfect example would be https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/last-item-disappearing-in-drag-and-drop-freeform-questions that thread. They fixed disappearing the last item with... disappearing the first. People still say that problem is not resolved. They suggest to turn off built in functionalities like background image or shuffle. And that's all, one and half year later, nobody gives a damn about the problem ;) when I do believe that's not some big deal, as they pinned down exact circumstances when is this happening.
