Oh, I dunno. I remember a few times wanting smack the blind optimism out of you, but it's water under the bridge now :P

Probably because the forum community here has become so toxic they've moved elsewhere. The FFXIV Reddit forum has a problem with too many people bragging about their big shiny weapons.
I'm pretty sure some of our posters don't actually play the game anymore, so they'd have no shiny weapons to brag about.
Re: reddit - yea it's insane the amount of hits for reddit threads I get when looking things up. Big, big community there.
Re: posters not playing the game anymore - maybe folks will slowly start to trickle back, as they have time and inclination. I was just reading an interview with Yoshi-P over at gamasutra and one of the comments he made was that he wanted to make the game fun first, and profits, if they happened, were a much lower priority in this specific case. Of course, SE's main goal as a business is to make money, but for YP, it was about recovering the Final Fantasy name. His number one focus was what the players were telling him, and he corrected (most) the problems and as a reward, the players are chattering among themselves and subscriptions are increasing. This is the correct way to produce a good or service.
Are there still things that could be improved? Sure. Personally I don't know why macros don't have the text written across them or why they don't display tooltips or even why in the great long list of macros they are all generic GRAY, but I imagine that either these are things that will be improved later on, or something that I just don't know how to fix yet.
These issues are so small compared to what I remember from two years ago though, that in no way would it cause me to stop playing or tell anyone else not to try it.
3 second delay for any action in user interface = unplayable
Macros that are hard to differentiate from one another = eh. Stupid, but tolerable.
