I really like Aurelia so far. It offers me a lot of tools as a developer to develop projects my own way. It feels like working with raw ES6 with a small but powerful library on top. Anyone good Javascript developer can pick it up in a matter of a few hours which makes onboarding very easy. It is still young and small when comparing it to its big brothers but you should try it anyway. It's really a joy to work with. I keep reading about how there is no community but that isn't true at all. The Gitter chat is very active and you can get an answer there in a matter of minutes. ---- My answer to the article's conclusion: "My team is small and doesn't have a professional web designer; I need other people's components." - In my experience using other people's components is often the weakness in big projects. You end up spending more time customizing them to your need than it would have taken building them yourself using the project's specification. That being said, yes, you do need either a full-stack or a front-end dev. for that. "I also hit too many stumbling blocks building out my spike, requiring hours of painful research." - The building system is very simple and looks like the ones I do myself but bigger. You can choose between Webpack and JSPM. You can even use their very simple CLI if you are not used to front-end build systems. "I never did succeed at getting a dialog to open, show a progress bar, and close programmatically." - ... Really? That's the basic tutorial on their website. Was an attempt even tried?

That's the basic tutorial on their website. No it isn't. The basic tutorial raises a dialog with a close button that the user clicks. Try raising the dialog, advancing a progress bar, and closing the dialog - all without user interaction. Eg, you're showing progress for an activity that should block out all interaction. It just doesn't work.

  The search grid that I have built using Aurelia does that. It's been a while so I don't have the exact code in my head. I simply modified the progress bar of the tutorial so that I can pass a parameters that make it so nothing can be clicked if it is set to "true" and also binds the "disabled" parameter of the buttons in the dialog. I don't want to be "that guy" but how is any of this hard? Everything is open source, you can modify everything to your requirements and build the parts that don't exist.
