I understand how migrations issues could be a problem, but how is the nonstandard web framework and the logic in the templates a problem as a user? Maybe it makes it harder for you to contribute to the project (and probaably for other people), thus slowing down the rate of improvement? Maybe other framework have better performance? Not denying your experience, just curious about the consequences of stuff like go-macaron.
Makes bugs harder to fix/diagnose and new features harder to implement. Yes, there is some UX and performance cost for certain actions if they require a roundtrip to the server. That isn’t my main concern, it’s just the speed of development.
For migrations, if a migration fails, you have no way of rolling it back because they only go up and not down. This is just a specific instance of the problem of having less popular dependencies — the bug fixes and new features are less plentiful because there’s not as wide of a community. That applies to xorm and go-macaron.
