I'm not saying that we need to immediately delete the Vaadin projects and reinvest months of work to reimplement them with Angular. I think that the biggest return on investment is replacing the legacy JSP/GWT parts of the UI with Angular. It will make the UI look and function better with less code and it will push us to enhance our REST interfaces, which is a win for devops/CLI tools as well. However it's worth considering that the ongoing maintenance on Vaadin is pretty high: upgrades are painful (they have been in the topology app anyway), the look-and-feel is difficult to match up with the rest of the UI, etc. > We don’t leverage from the modern Vaadin UI cause we can’t use it, we > don’t leverage from modern Angular JS technology cause we can’t use > it - We added bootstrap but we can’t leverage from it, cause we can’t > really use it. I don't agree with this. Is anyone frustrated because they can't fully use Vaadin, Angular, or Bootstrap? We need to put in a dependency/build/test framework for JS but otherwise, all of the tools are ready today. > on-boarding of new people is quite impossible cause nobody gets the > the tech cruft. REST + JS is going to be the easiest way to onboard cheap developers IMHO. -- Seth
