And the addon API doesn't even have that direct of a relationship to Broccoli, in the same way that the Ember component lifecycle makes sense even if it wasn't generating DOM at the end.

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.

Ember-browserify works pretty good. People want addon support, but that quickly introduces duplicates and that spirals out of control re: bite size. Solvable, but not trivial. Existing alternative solutions are poor. When auditing browserify and web pack bundles, dupes abound

Speaking from my own experience, even just having some official docs about the various ways to do imports with pros/cons would go a long way.
