Yes, I really dont understand how this is going on for so long. Also I am not a developer, but I would think that the main priority of the core team right now would be to fix the basic search and listing functionality, as well as adding private messaging.

I WANT to promote steemit to my friends, but showing them the site in it's current form is a joke!

Compare this to DTUBE which is being privately developed, and in my opinion has become the LEADING value for steem.

I mean in the 5 months I have been here, what really has even changed? We got a new logo? Cmon devs!!!
