I agree, but it is easier to learn those things if you're using

you've got that background.
Yeah, I think that's the basic problem with people's expectations
of vibe.d. What is hard is not vibe.d but to know how to set up a
web project properly, which is a different kettle of fish. Maybe
we should make this clear to everyone: vibe.d helps you to set up
a server/web service, if you are already familiar with or willing
to learn web stuff.
Nice additions to vibed.org would be:
1. (more) template projects (chat room etc.)
2. a section that addresses common problems (cross origin access
and whatnot)
The web is a never ending source of grief for developers. Did you
know that to be able to play sound files more than once in Chrome
you have to `addField("Accept-Ranges", "bytes")` whenever a sound
file is requested? Not so with FF. It just never ends, and I
think sooner or later you will run into problems like that with
any framework.
tldr; vibe.d helps you to set up web servers, but you have to
know web related stuff too - or be willing to learn it as you go
along. It's not straight out of the box.
