FUD would have been to disregard Goal flows entirely. The fact that GA gives you the choice is part of the problem: there are two funnel visualizations, and it confuses most people.
If you believe that web-analytics should be understood and used by just a few, then it's OK, GA is great. But if the discipline wants to reach a broader audience, product choices should be made, but GA will not commit to such changes apparently.
- gk1 13y agoIsn't this an inherent problem of any sophisticated tool? AutoCAD is a nightmare to learn for most people, but that's OK. The ones who just want a simple modeling program can use Google Sketchup. Similarly, anyone who just wants basic metrics (visits, sources) can use GA out of the box or use one of the simpler solutions (many of which have been named in this thread). Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of room for improvement in GA, and even I continue to learn new things about it all the time. I just don't want to see it watered down to the lowest common denominator.
