So I'm sure many of you are using or have tried to use TrixBox. Thus far, I'm in
love with it. I haven't had a single snag. Then again, I don't need to get into
anything overly nitty gritty with my Asterisk box.
What are your views?
I've played with AAH/trixbox, but I'd have to say, in all honesty, I
can create a dialplan faster, set up phones faster, set up hardware
faster, and set up providers faster using just the basic conf files in
asterisk. Of course, I've been doing this a while now. It was quite
a learning curve when I first started, but at the time AAH did not
exist. This may be a good thing, too, because my clients have asked
me to do some pretty odd things that AAH/trixbox cannot do in the GUI,
so I would have needed to learn the basics anyway. Now that I have a
somewhat better understanding of how * works, I can turn around and
try to help people on this list, too.
So, my perception of trixbox is that it slowed me up and restricted
what I could do, but it certainly eliminates a steep learning curve,
and that's probably much more important to a lot of people.

No, not really. It makes the dialplan complex, to accommodate all it's
options. The asterisk sample configs (make sample-configs?) are a much
better place to learn from, once you understand the basic concepts.
Personally, I really could have used a 2 page asterisk quick reference sheet
with a sample of a sip.conf entry, the extensions.conf commands Quick
reference, dial-patterns, and extension patterns. I Couldn't find one so
drilled around in voip-info.org till I made it work.

But, can't it be one way of "learning"? Can't one setup and modify a
Trixbox setup, then peruse the conf files, to get familiar with
(almost) all things Asterisk?
Spoke as one who was not very pleased with their own foray into Trixbox and
is still creeping up to speed on Asterisk.
