The UI is genuinely poor
The UI is genuinely poor. It's overloaded, the default view is bad, and applying filters takes 2–3 clicks (open sidebar, choose filter, close sidebar). It's almost unusable on a 14-inch screen. The traces view - the previous version was better; still overloaded, but better. Keyboard-only usage is impossible. Selecting and copying text is painful.
I've gotten used to its UI, but I'm still roughly 4–5x less effective at the same tasks compared to Kibana and/or Jaeger.
Honestly, I would never recommend it to anyone - though I don't know how this "product" is positioned. Maybe it's not aimed at developers.
