I really love that you can get 3rd party custom visual imported right into Power BI. But I don't like the user interface for it.
* Years ago, the authors had the ability to post PBIX files that would help explain and show how their visual worked, with sample data and use cases. That's gone.
* The popup is modal, which I guess it needs to be, but I can't BOTH read the instructions from the popup AND try to apply them on my model.
* Links don't work. If there is a link in the description, then it needs to be a HYPER link, not plain text. Nothing more frustrating that typing in 50 character addresses into a browser address bar when it was a two-click operation for the author to make the text a hyper link. AND, you can't copy text from inside the description.
* The BACK navigation puts you back at the TOP of the list, not where you left off when you clicked into an item to see its details.
* The search results are horrible. I tried searching for "slicer" and yes, it put the slicer related visuals at the top, but it also returned EVERY OTHER visual below that, Calendars, Gauges, KPI, Bar charts, etc.
