I think you fundamentally misunderstood me, I'm not against change. I love MVC. Webforms is a complete travesty anyone still using it for new projects is mad. I never understood why Scott Gu defended it, it's a bad choice in the modern world. I do not love where they're taking it though, which is to a place of no choice and bad design decisions. REST is a bad design decision in my opinion. If you love it, fine, but don't force me to have only 4 methods on my classes. Strict REST doesn't make sense to me, it never has and never will. Most of the APIs I love using don't follow strict REST designs in their APIs and in my opinion those APIs are much better than the ones that do. Knockout.js is a bad design decision. Use it if you want. But it shouldn't start adding a load of cruft in my project every time I click 'Add View...' though. |

You are not limited to 4 methods, there are only 4 methods of altering data (eg. CRUD (create, read, update and delete))? Recently, they introduced batch support (i could have used that 3 months ago though :P)
Errors? Return a standard HTTP Code :)
Knockout is optional, it's a template to start with. Want to do it yourself? Create an empty project, use one on Github/Codeplex, import an extensions with custom scaffolders (mvc scaffold) or go and create your own with T4 templates, i have done it myselve thanks to some info on Scott Hanselman's blog: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ModifyingTheDefaultCodeGenerat...
PS. Kinda curious which API's you are referring to?
