I have been feeling the same way. It feels to me like Pipelines has become a major priority and basics like a new form builder never seem to be discussed. If all this pipeline energy were put into making the integration with Zapier better, QuickBase could have gotten further faster. Are they really going to re-create every possible integration that already existing in Zapier?
Form builder - Go take a look at Cognito Forms for a good idea of where they need to go in my opinion.
I also am not sure about the new reports. Feels like more clicks.
Also how about some actual email integration. I built a CRM but have to jump through hoops with external systems for true two-way communication via email which is a staple of any CRM. Could add texting to this also.

Pipelines is basically Zapier that is why they purchased it. Pipelines is just a really really bad version of Zapier haha.
- cannot run individual pipeline steps for testing
- cannot free write code for data manipulation
- cannot jointly work on pipelines (unless putting on a user that multiple people have the info to)
- the auto save feature bugs out a lot
- their customer support on pipelines is as useful as raking your yard with a fork
- exporting and importing YAML is miserable, even after changing your account slugs
I could go on forever, but yes you can get everything done in Pipelines that Zapier can do. In an annoying and inefficient manner.
