Drawings in Draw widget disappearing
To be fair, when we're scoping WAB to ExB migration projects, we look at the documentation, which summarizes that like ExB has 80-90% parity (or more) with WAB and WAB is starting deprecation in July 2024. (It is now mid-June 2024.)
In the tech industry, video games, smart devices, etc., I believe we have come to expect that all existing technology will have workflows in place to carry out existing processes before the old workflow is deprecated so as to not leave a functionality gap.
Just look at the backlash and controversy of Warcraft 3 Reforged when Blizzard released it without pre-existing Ladder, Profiles, Automated Tournaments capability, just to name a few. Blizzard then issued a formal apology, and their customers were STILL very dissatisfied. It's STILL sitting at a 1.4 star review because of it. We have all been, and still are, much more patient.
It's not until one makes assurances to the brass, gets project funding, kicks off the migration projects, and gets heavy into development that the truth comes out about actual widget parity, only then realizing that the parity documentation (function parity matrix in this case) has been largely embellished (almost to the point of lying through one's teeth) and that claims of widget function parity only have to reach about 50% function coverage to garner a "Yes" on the documentation. (To a reasonable layperson, a "Yes" ought to mean... maybe 95% or even 100% function parity? Especially when it's just before deprecation of existing technology.)
I'm sure that my team and my project aren't the only organizations that over-trusted Esri's documentation to kick off the migration project, only to find it all fizzling out with execs getting incredibly annoyed and our heads on the chopping block. While others and I can wait patiently, even giving up our jobs and positions due to project failure, and try to find alternative solutions or income, 'tis often the executives that are far less understanding.
