This kind of reminds me of dojo (minus the good build system). It is very much a jack of all trades, master of none. There are too many good libraries out there to tie yourself down to one monolithic framework. Have fun building your dojo project in browserify, webpack, r.js, or any other build system. You miss out on good promise libraries, good UI libraries like React, Polymer, etc. Instead you get a promise library that is not A+ compliant, and the shit that is dijit._Widget. Don't forget you are now tied down to dojo declare's class system (which they are abandoning in dojo2).
