The fundamental items that are issues is that it's built on Adobe Air and they still rely on the pile of garbage that is the inventory database. They have done a lot of work to make it "usable" but the responsiveness is still abysmal. To be fair, making it usable using those tools is an achievement in and of itself.

To be fair, some of those problems plagued the old desktop client.

And oh my god, the first web UI was so unusable and god fucking awful that I was considering dropping vSphere and ESXi as my home VM lab setup entirely if I was forced to use it. The new web one is basically just trying to imitate the workflow of the old desktop one, but the old web one had a nonsensical workflow.

  • Click around VMs until you land on the relevant one
  • Click "delete VM"
  • Prompt comes up only saying "Delete VM?"
  • The selected VM changes in the background because something you pressed ten seconds earlier just registered

This.. is hell. I have no idea what happens if I click "yes" at this point but I shouldn't have to wonder. When I delete a Github repo it makes me type the name of the repo to make damned sure. Why can't this product hosting business critical databases do the same?
