OK - most of the functionality which is built into the new version, we appreciate. That being said I have one major issue and one minor.
MAJOR ISSUE: It seems that mobile users are not being redirected to the their respective mobile apps. I don't care if the index3 is brought back or the redirect is from idex, but we really need it. It seems that some of the code is still in there but not all; perhaps I am missing something... help plz.
MINOR ISSUE: The graphics formatting keeps changing. We will always default to our personal logos, fonts, branding, yadda yadda ... I wish esri would quit being so controlling in this regard. The idea is to make it personable, etc. I would much rather have more control over layout and such and imbed an esri logo than be constantly steered into whatever direction. When I go to the grocery store to buy milk and sugar - i buy milk and sugar; i don't care how many times they change the store:) It just so happens to be that the milk and sugar in this case is our look, our font, our logo (on top ribbon!) etc. I do believe that it is important to give ESRI credit and for their logo to be included. But esri is an intermediary; it is ESRI's job to generally help gis users put out product to the consumers. The extent to which it is beneficial for all the templates to have the same look and feel is suspect and i believe the more personable the product is the greater the success of the template and the more restrictive - the inverse. While the current iteration has simplified many elements, it is kinda restrictive and we will likely always cut out a lot and hard-code back w/ html.
btw: reactivating the mobile facet is really important to us and would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me in this regard or have 1.4x come out and reinstate it... We are trying to mix and match from 1.3 and 1.4 and not being familiar with all this would be way easier to remove functionality that we don't want than to add it back from some previous version...
