Developer experience has been excellent, with the obvious caveats that it has been a bit bumpy when code relocated to other packages or decomposed into individual libraries, docs have been a bit of a teething issue as well, but have largely found I that I haven't needed too much documentation as of late.
As sayem_ said, you will largely just be writing Javascript, not so much framework specific implementations, which is awesome. I've had mobile (iOS/Android) devs jump in and begin contributing straight away - that's awesome as well.
Community is the icing on the cake too. There's a really active Gitter community, but possibly to it's detriment at times. The simpler questions which would usually end up on StackOverflow are usually answered in Gitter instead, which has it's impacts (harder [read: impossible] to search, community looks small from SO perspective)
Looking forward to the future!
- kensign 10y agoYeah this is perfect timing for us too, we go wide release in the next few months. It's so great to write ES6 and create a modular system. Our product is based on DDD and BDD, so we are able to take full advantage of a rich domain model with services and keep our view-models as light as they need to be. We also take heavy advantage of web components reuse and application events. There is still a lot of refactoring to do as Aurelia is coming into its own, but it is hands down the best dev platform for web apps I have ever seen. Angular2 is DOA and React is the ugliest anti-pattern to plague the web. Thank you to all the Aurelia community for baking this baby.
