Well, I can’t say I’m leaving Ember forever but the project that brought me here is also taking me away. I came to Ember to write an animal husbandry application for my hobby. While many concepts were clear, learning to implement them was difficult. I fall into the camp that Ember takes weeks/months to learn (at least to do the things I am trying to do). Also I was following the current documentation which was out of date (compared to the rest of the community) and that caused its friction.
What I can say is my last post was Apr 25th. Today is May 27th. In that time I have gotten one of the three genetic calculators (for my animal husbandry application) running in React, Fluxify, and React-Router. All of the functionality I ever did in Ember and more.
I know that React-Router is a re-implementation of the Ember router (and thus was easy to learn, Ember does Routing well).
I have to say thanks to @kylecoberly for suffering through with me and for all his efforts to help. And a big thanks to the Ember team (of which @stefan is the only one I know by name) I hope my issues might give you perspective to reach out to those in the “Microsoft stack”. Thanks also to all those who I have left unnamed who tried to help me, I learned from you all. Of course, package managers and frameworks driven development in JavaScript is the major take away from my time in Ember, it made learning React and Fluxify easy and I’m productive in those frameworks.
Thank you all.
