Layout instability and limited customization flexibility
Merchants struggle with layout issues that occur when attempting creative designs, often resulting in a discrepancy between the editor and the published site. The lack of native features, such as lightbox for carousels, forces users to rely on third-party tools or custom code to achieve basic design goals.

It is if you stick to ver basic layouts. But it falls apart when you do anything remotely creative.
It's a bit frustrating and surprising this isn't a native feature for the carousel in Squarespace.
This issue is so frustrating, it's why I just use classic sections now. If this isn't fixed before my subscription is up I'll def be moving to something else.
I waste more time there getting an image to work the way it'd take 60 seconds in Webflow.
