Hey Noah G. thanks for the response on the weekend!
I think your point about having the type of template exactly have to adapt exactly the products on the shop (e.g. adding sub & save to a product template that doesn't have sub & save) is over-simplified. I don't see an element of confusion here unless the user is completely unfamiliar with Replo, as it is easy to remove the S&S elements and update the content.
On the browsing / adding templates:
It's difficult to explain the exact reasons why I think the UI is so poor without having a direct comparison to the old version, but I use the new one much less and build sections from scratch a lot more, which is a lot slower.
My workflow is to have an idea for the section I want (e.g. problem, solution), then try to find a suitable section template to display the content.
In the current full page template view, when you browse page templates you have to hover your mouse over the template and wait for a slow scroll to see all the sections, which is especially slow to view templates on mobile.
There used to be the option to view and filter all sections like this within the page editor as a popup, which was much easier. I believe this included every possible section, with lots of filtering options and a search, which was great.
In the current UI for adding sections, the section previews are very small and you can't view the mobile version.
I also believe certain filtering options were removed but can't state which without a direct comparison.
It's hard to remember all the differences exactly considering the old UI was removed quite a while ago now, but I consistently find myself not adding in section templates as much with the new UI. I have been using Replo for over 2 years and can confidently say this change has made my workflow slower and has made my experience worse. So my view would be to switch back to the original section / page templates UI. It was one of the best features of Replo and the main reason I started using the platform in the first place
