CF6 to CF7 - is it an upgrade or downgrade?

Choose between ChronoForms v6 and v7 for feature compatibility.

Overview

CF7 is a new version with improved features but lacks some legacy widgets and direct import from CF6.
Assess your required features; use CF6 for specific legacy widgets or CF7 for new improvements, as missing features are planned for future updates.

CF7 right now feels like a method to acquire fresh money. Nothing wrong about this. I am mostly satisfied with the product (CF6), but why does CF7 feels so half-baked? There are some parts / widgets / functions CF6 had and that are now missing in CF7. I am not only talking about the missing rating widget ... I clearly see the advantages of CF7 over CF6, but why do I have to do all forms all over again? No import for CF6, but legacy support for CF5?

Is CF7 getting all CF6 features in a foreseeable future? I am a but unsure, which version to use right now. CF6 the more feature rich or the improved CF with less features?

Sorry, if this sounds like a rant, but it is no (complete) joy to work with CF7 at the moment. And please (I know this would be hard work) give us a proper manual.

some v6 features have not been added to v7 (like the rating), but so many v7 features are not available in v6, it depends on the feature popularity mainly, not so many users used the rating feature.

Most features are on the todo list!

I think v7 feels different, but once you get used to it, it is still awesome. I appreciate all of Max's hard work.
