Did you know that this is the only Great Topic on this forum?

Community request: can we have a no-bullshit update on the future AtlasKit?

Dear Atlassian design team, Can you please give us an update on what the hell is going on with ADG and AtlasKit? It all started so ambitious and many of us have been actively integrating AtlasKit into our products hoping for a better future.
