For ApplicationInsights in particular the UI is absolutely, horrendously terrible. I'm not a fan of Azure portal in general, but the ApplicationInsights portal in particular has a ton of UI issues that are not just cosmetic but functionally broken.
-
Startup shows a getting started video even on direct links to my query list or a specific query.
-
Can't jump directly to a query - always extra steps.
-
Creation of queries in the UI is confusing as hell
Edit and Save are conflated in meaning. Save creates a new Snippet? WTF? But Ctrl-S saves? WTF? -
Default Query Filter?
When creating a new query and saving no filter options are prominently displayed. When I look at the list of queries, there's a filter forApplicationInsightsthat I did not see on a new query. It defaults to that so none of my queries show up until I explicitly remove that filter. -
Opening a query from Favorites doesn't open a new tab When I click on a query it adds to the existing query, instead of as expected opening a new tab. Steps now are click + then go to favorites to open.

Opening a query from Favorites (or anywhere) appends the query?
When opening a query it appends into the query editor, adding to whatever that was there. It then tries to auto-run and fails. If I re-run it actually works. But looking at the editor there are now two queries visible. Opening first query never works - query is always doubled up with two queries in the editor. Auto-run fails. -
Menu on App Insight shows Queries and Query Explorer - Choose one or the other but not both.
