Hey there, I'm Aurelia's Community Lead. I wanted to address these issues with you so we can work together to deal with the issues: 1 & 2a: We feel your pain on JSPM/SystemJS. An unbundled SystemJS application is kinda slow. My current recommendation is to either use Webpack or look at our CLI. The CLI is currently alpha, but the loading performance blows JSPM/SystemJS out of the water. The JSPM Skeleton has a loading screen b/c of how long SystemJS takes to load an unbundled Aurelia app. The CLI doesn't need this since the app loads so quickly. 3. This documentation helps us generate our documentation site which leads us to.. 2b. We're working on server-side rendering which will rectify this issue, and provide a lot of value for the community of Aurelia developers. 4. I'd like to see this rectified, personally. I'm not sure that an `else` would work, but what about a set of `switch` and `case` custom elements to do this? 5. Yeah, this is somewhere we got screwed when the powers that be decided that `Object.observe` needed to be killed. That being said, have you used our `observable` attribute on VM properties? It works just like the `bindable` attribute in terms of giving you a `${name}Changed` callback that you don't need to worry about tearing down. 6. Most of the things you'll use on a daily basis are pulled together by the `aurelia-framework` module. There are some exceptions, such as router stuff. But most of the time when I'm writing aurelia import statements, I'm pulling stuff from the framework module. ymmv 7. This is true, but it was deprecated due to being a broken design. The new version is much better and is quickly pushing to release. 8. Again, something that happened due to `Object.observe` being taken from us. 9. In a CLI based application, I get one warning. I've been working to find the source of the warning so I can file an issue. All in all, I don't want this post to feel antagonistic. We're all working towards a common goal: Building an awesome framework that makes all of our daily jobs easier.
