is there anyone active on Steem who still hasn't tried out Hive communities? If so, would you please let us know why not?

Poked around a couple times, but still haven't taken time to understand what they really are or how they really work. May do that later today or sometime tomorrow.

I expect many of the Steempeak regular users will embrace it. Others may find it more to their liking as well.

I use @Steempeak regularly. I like it a great deal.

I also hope eSteem will have its implementation ready soon.

@eSteem seems to still be a little buggy occassionally, but I just use it to see replies and comments. I didn't know it was still in beta. I have only used it to post a couple of times, and I beleive they were just photos with a small amount of text.
