Javascript Frameworks Are Amazing and Nobody Is Happy

I believe the problem with _every_ framework out there is that they focus too much on how they solve trivial problems and not enough on how you can use them in complex scenario.

I think people are pissed when they start with a new framework is the lack of ERROR messages.

I wished errors were more verbose. I don't care if the error message takes 5 lines. When I'm used to a framework, i'll know from the second word what is the error.

On the other hand, when I don't know the framework, I have no ideas what is assumed and what isn't. Print all the remotely possible culprit. That will give me an idea how it works.

Errors will help me learn and progress.

Agreed. I wish more open source would make it an actual goal to provide awesome error messages. A good example is the Rebus service bus for .NET which has it as an actual goal to have the best error messages - resulting in stuff like:
