I can edit a page on a template, and hide some of the colums on the badly done front-end editor, and often times, the changes are not saved, or worse, if I edit a page, hide a bunch of the colums, and then go back and edit something later, all of the hiden content shows up again and is no longer hidden.

It seems these are complaints a lot of others are having, and are met with very little regard. I love SP, have been using it and paying for it for years, but this is the first time I've found myself looking for an alternative. I can't maintain websites like this, this has ruined my productivity the past few months. I truly hope these issues are being addressed, otherwise I can't continue using this product.
