There seem to be a lot of plans, and a vast amount of usability which has been lost. I appreciate that lfgss was straining at the seams of the old software/hardware, but from a user perspective it was fine and on the evidence so far microcosm is very far from ready for prime time.
It wasn't straining at the seams, it was dieing, and costing a lot of money. Microcosm is essentially working fine, lacking finesse, some bells and whistles and some major new features, but you can do pretty much everything here that you could on the old forum software but for some style changes.
