I also find it frustrating as a python / django / vue developer working on Shopify apps.

The python api doc is not good. I'm always not sure about how to call the api. I can only leave an issue on GitHub.

The ecosystem obviously leans toward react and ruby. The examples are not suitable for me most of the time. The tooling like CLI, example will not include what you need.

Use Polaris for your UI? Sorry, it's not supporting vue. You need to build it with npm. Only for react. But I want the easy way to work with CDN

Need python examples on the latest session token auth? Sorry, there is no such thing. I spent 2 - 3 weeks working on it (and still working now). What I got are the workflow diagram and step instructions. Welcome back to the uni!

But the session token auth is mandatory for all new apps. You must use it NOW!

Developer / Partner support? Please provide a store id to identify yourself. But I clicked the link INSIDE the partner portal. (Half an hour later, still got nothing. ) I spend an hour and get nothing most of the time. The worst thing is that they answer you 'Sorry, I don't know or it is not feasible' with a thousand word long email.
