I used Sails extensively in multiple projects for a few years. This was coming from a lot of Symfony projects, and I'd hoped Sails was going to offer similar, but in NodeJS.

I'd agree with OP mostly. Documentation was sparse once you got past the basic CRUD stuff and we came across multiple strange blockers, this was then tied with the confusing Trails fork which didn't inspire confidence.

Ended up dropping down to just using Socket.io and Express more directly and skipping a lot of the Sails framework.

It was nice to use overall though, and I would look into it again, but carefully. More likely I would just use Express and then bolt on what I needed myself though.
