  That would be great. I think the frustration is due to expectations 
management. I guess we were imagining that we would just run the same code as 
Wikidata, so once turned on SDC would have similar GUI as Wikidata and with the 
same capabilities, including SPARQL interface, constraint verification, support 
for all the basic types, support for Lua interface, etc.  So that should have 
been the baseline, followed by possible additional features. In the mean time, 
we are still adding basic features Wikidata had ages ago, like for example It 
was only today, I was able to use GUI to add units to a "quantity" type 
property (see T239474 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239474>).  We are 
also still waiting for SPARQL interface, constraint support, ability to link to 
statements (T241338 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T241338>), etc.. While 
we are waiting on those capabilities, SDC development seems to concentrate on 
new GUI, which is much more clunky than the Wikidata's GUI, and tools like 
Computer-aided tagging 
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Computer-aided_tagging>
 ( which I support but would prefer to see done after we manage to finish with 
turning on all the features we now expect from wikibase). It is a bit like if 
we were starting a new language of Wikipedia and first turned on the mediawiki 
software from 15 years ago and than had to file tickets to add all the features 
we expect from current Wikipedia.
