In regard to Resource Groups, there is a particular feature I feel is missing: the ability of moving one resource from a resource group to another. Basically, the situation is like this: upon the lauch of the new portal, each of my Azure storage accounts and websites I've been using was added into a single Resource Group. Therefore, website A which was consuming data from a storage account with a similar name (A) ended up into two different Resource Groups: Default-Storage-NorthEurope and Default-Web-NorthEurope. Right now, whenever I navigate to the Resource Groups blade I get lots of generic named resource groups which are impossible to manage. What I'd love is to be able to move resources from one Resource Group to another and delete the first resource group completely afterwards.

Simplify the portal by doing more in place. The horizontal scrolling seems to cause too many, unnecessary clicks, which makes the UI to jump around a lot and quickly becomes overwhelming with so much on the screen at once. It's hard to focus on what's most important and, when there's only one blade, half the screen is empty with critical messages all the way on the other side. Make better use of screen real estate and stop moving things around so much. It's distracting. I love the portal, but all the movement gets in the way. Let us focus on one task at a time and let that use the full screen.

The new portal while shiny and new, and metro, and shiny, can be a bit of a beautiful annoyance at times. My current annoyance is that navigating between two related, but not the same entities is frustrating. In a tabbed browsing approach, this is a single click on the correct tab in my browser. In the new portal, this is a bunch of clicks depending on the level of shared hierarchy. Neither right clicking / middle clicking work to allow me to open a view in a new window. Please consider the target users of this portal (they're going to be power users, not n00bs). I don't know a dev out there that doesn't always have a bunch of tabs open in their browser of choice, because that's the most efficient way to work. Journeys aren't the answer to this, as they still require a navigation action / delay between actions.

The impact of this is that the new portal's behaviour is a regression from the old portal. It's a frustratingly annoying experience, significantly slower to perform similar tasks.

The old portal has elements of this problem throughout in its attempt to be stateful and look and feel like a desktop app. I dislike those elements as well, however it at least gets the tab behaviour correct and doesn't break the web.

I would like a process to export all the azure configurations and import them into Visio to be able to build accurate architecture diagrams of the environment.
This would allow for a 'point in time' reference for what is the current state.
Expanding on this would be the ability to have templates of diagrams to represent different perspectives of the environment ( network / server details / etc. ).
Through the use of TAGS and Metadata, you could produce the layout of platforms / applications / business aligned systems / etc.

Producing these artifacts and versioning over time will show the evolution of an environment

Eventually this feature could be incorporated completely into the portal ( export, rendering of Visio, storage of artifacts) as a service offering. consumers of the service can upload desired templates. Documents can be scheduled to be produced on intervals, on demand, or only if changes were made that day.

The Azure Portal performance is horribly slow! The blades take too much time to load and keep moving back and forward while loading. Switching from one "Blade Flow" to another take about half a minute of loading time.

I know there is already an issue similar to this in this User Voice, however someone from Microsoft marked the task as Completed. Clearly this is not completed or fixed. Our whole company is adopting Microsoft Azure and this is the number one complaint that I have. I can also help replicate it if need be, but I am sure it is very easily replicable. You can even see Russinovich webcast and feel how laggy the portal is: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/azure-stack/webcast/

Many times I have had to request for quota increases for my customers. We offer Azure onboard training to our customers and this is one of the very first things I tell the customer to do once they get their subscription to avoid failed deployments. The problem is that there are so many quota limitations but no where to view them. You can assume they are the defaults but what if someone else has made a change. You can see core quotas when submitting an SR in the portal or use PowerShell to see these but you cant see any other quotas. It would be nice to be able to click on something in the portal to see quotas like core, SQL Servers, etc for each region of your subscription. Maybe just for the ones that have been modified and you can assume the rest are default. I actually had to go back through all of the SRs submitted for one customer just to find out what the quota on the SQL Servers were.
