Not sure if this has been added yet but I would love to see more development done to the email builder interface. The builder we have now is similar to Mailgun with 6-8 buttons. I would love the ability to add more custom info like adding html blocks to embed information, add polls to the emails like ConvertKit has (I believe they are the ones that have this), and other features to have emails be more engaging.
Probably missing some other ideas but thats what I had for now.
Update: Looks like ConvertKit doesn't have polls, they have other things that I don't need want. I was thinking of ConstantContact which does have polls (https://knowledgebase.constantcontact.com/email-digital-marketing/articles/KnowledgeBase/9492-Insert-a-Poll-in-the-Next-Generation-Editor?lang=en_US). Looks like MailChimp also have polls (https://mailchimp.com/help/send-a-simple-poll-or-survey-to-subscribers/)
Would be cool to also have the ability for customers to link to their stores like in ConstantContact and allow them to embed their store products. Could be similar to the work that Klaviyo has done. I know that is probably an large undertaking but thinking through the possibilities I know there are some people I talk to that want me to manage or help them save money on ESP stuff and the features Klaviyo has most ecom uses so perhaps some dday we can see similar functions built out for ED.

We are replacing our drag and drop with beefree.io

If the drag-and-drop designer looks simple or basic, it's because we intentionally went for a minimalist, clean design to keep the UI fast and intuitive.
Once you actually dig in, there are a lot of features there; they're just not apparent by looking at the tiles on the left-hand side.
One way we tried to illustrate the drag-and-drop capabilities is through our stock templates that come with the product.
We made a deal with Email Bakery to use all of their templates in our product to showcase what can be done with the drag-and-drop; that's why their name is in the left-hand sidebar when you create a campaign.
The stock templates you see were created by taking all of the raw HTML source templates email bakery has, and remaking them in the drag-and-drop editor to demonstrate it can create any design that can be done with HTML.
We were able to re-create every template they had on their site, we didn't have to discard any of them because the drag-and-drop was incapable of the same design due to missing features.
Most importantly, our drag-and-drop is super fast and responsive, unlike most tools like this.
However, I agree it can be improved with some key features, such as inserting your own HTML.

We're planning on adding a custom HTML block eventually, that should be it's own canny item

Email builder definitely needs an improvement.
Acumba Mail integrates this tool: https://developers.beefree.io

Leandro Seabra: Could you give specific feedback on what needs to be improved?
Leandro Seabra
EmailDelivery.com: some ideas on the screenshots. Reusable items (library) would also be nice.

Leandro Seabra: I agree a reusable image library would be good.
Are you using the Pixabay integration?
Moving some of the edit pencil functions to a right-hand sidebar is not a bad idea, as that is the standard these days.
Leandro Seabra
EmailDelivery.com: Yes, Pixabay is integrated.
Images pagination could be better than a dropdown...

Also if the top edit bar is floating otherwise for even minor edits one has to scroll to the top for adding horizontal line or changing the font size etc. if it’s a long. Mail it’s becomes a task.
