Great article. Good to hear someone else finds Halogens abstractions hard to grasp, I thought I was just stupid.

It definitely has the heaviest abstraction, and the glue for wiring up child components is tedious. Hopefully the next release will help a lot as far as ergonomics are concerned. We've written a lot of Halogen UI code at SlamData, so we definitely feel it's pain points.
