I have said several times that, if I could use something else, I would do so. To make it more clear, I would jump at the chance. This is the only list manager that my hosting service offers me.
Then complain to your hosting service. They're the ones that you're paying (I assume), and they're the ones that made the choice to use something is unsuitable for you. Saying that SmartList is not suitable for anyone is clearly false, since there are many people who are quite happy with it. Better yet, talk with your money and move your hosting somewhere that uses software that fits your needs.
Now that I know that this is not a forum for discussion of SmartList, but an Amen corner, I can relieve your evident anxiety: not having any Amens to offer,
That's not true. SmartList is not perfect, and its actual problems can be (and are) discussed here. But, your problem is that you don't like the design goals, and are insisting that the entire design should be changed to suite your needs by people who are served perfectly well by the current design. And even if through some miracle (or large amount of money) you got it to happen, you'd apparently still need to convince your hosting company to upgrade to the new version.
I won't post again.
