Any idea if they have fixed the other issues? I stopped trying to use them as they were super slow and gave me loads of problems with things like dataflows,
I haven't tried to load a lot of data recently and my early experience was similar to yours. It's probably worth a second look, anecdotally it feels faster but I have yet to try any serious data load this year.
I'll see if I can dig out the workspaces I set up to compare.
As this functionality seems so Beta (compared to the other preview functionality IMO) it feels like it needs a much more detailed and up-to-date communications page from Microsoft. It's being actively pushed to users but I never knew if it was broken or if I was doing something wrong. I'm reluctant to sink much more time into it even though it seems like it has a lot of potential.
