Hello again, We know not everyone has made the jump to Elements (yet), and that’s okay… but we’d love to understand why: - Is there a specific feature you’re waiting for? - Is your current setup still doing the job? - Are you unsure if Elements is the right fit for your workflow? - Or maybe there’s just something holding you back? We’re doing a bit of market research to better understand what’s keeping people on the sidelines. Your feedback will help us improve Elements, refine our messaging, and maybe even shape the roadmap. Drop your thoughts below! Thanks in advance, Dan & Team Elements! **P.S.** If you’re already using Elements, [this other thread is for you](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/why-did-you-switch-to-elements-help-us-with-a-bit-of-market-research/49036) 😉 ---

I’m looking for my 400 stacks plugins that I’ve used for over a decade. For me - not a full time web developer - it’s easy in - do my functions- upload - easy out… the stacks animate and do many functions I want… I just today added pop box 2 by one little designer to RWC [TrumpetStudio.com](http://TrumpetStudio.com) I need the endless stacks I use replicated in elements I need the store option - I think 🤔 it’s not a huge leap for vibralogix - he might have it done already… I need simplicity and fantastic drap drop my content for templates I think you’re doing amazing work- really - just too much for me - a casual web developer 12-15 sites I’m not against elements and will re-evaluate again… again and again Best wishes on your continued success!!! -Mike (from the old podcast years ago - the coffee guy from Chicago) ---

Great points here on shopping cart I use Cartloom, it is also written in Tailwind and integrates so easily with RW8/Classic and Elements. I hope this helps you? I know RW and Joe W also use it for their stores.
