but it'll probably be another year before that happens, and that's 2 years after GraphQL was released during which, partially due to the response from the core team, the Ember community considers it "niche at best, a joke at worst".

Yeah I won't fault the addon API at all. I love it, I just have gripes with the feeling that ember is constantly reinventing things that it seems (1) everybody else coalesced on a solution for and (2) nobody else can benefit from our reinvention
-
It feels like ember picks a tool early in the race and when everybody else hits the same problem and coalesces around an alternative, we stubbornly keep our existing tool due to sunk costs
-
… And this results in a weak ecosystem because I can't borrow tools directly from other ecosystems, just ideas. And ideas are frankly near-worthless when I'm trying to build a product quickly
-
From the perspective of quickly shipping your product, what would you say are the biggest things from Webpack missing in Ember that are slowing you down?
-
npm install thing -> import stuff from thing is absolutely 100% a real and significant feature of using webpack that ember still lacks (though I know we're getting closer) and the cost of not having this feature is far from trivial in real life apps
-
I definitely quickly feel paralyzed when I go down the path of wanting to use a 3rd party module to solve some problem or experiment with an idea.
-
When I started thinking about Ember in 2018 over the holidays, "being able to easily import from npm" quickly shot up to the top of my list. It sucks wanting to use an npm module and having to remember the song and dance. Let's fix it.

Would it make sense to talk to
@hanslatwork,@Brocco and@filipematossilv on the move from Broccoli to Schematics? The angular cli was based on the ember cli originally. - 1 more reply
