Gatling features roadmap

Hello!

Having couple years of performance testing with JMeter I have tried to play with Gatling for few days.
Maybe I am stuck in “JMeter world”, but as far as I see Gatling doesn’t have some features which I used to have.
I am talking about controllers (once controller for login in scenario, transaction controller, interleave and switch controllers), different timers etc.

So the question - does the project plans to work in that direction?
I understand that due to scripts are written in Scala I can do whatever I want and write any code, however built in functionality is more attractive.

Thanks!

Well, it has groups, various loops, conditions, failure handling blocks etc. built in. In my opinion it’s much easier to use (and read the code later) than JMetter controllers)
