Question

I’ve played only briefly with LightSwitch and while it looks like it could be a great framework for internal applications, I’m worried it will be like so many other tools that promised simple-to-create applications but once you varied at all from the most basic application, it became much more arduous than just doing it with a more traditional language/framework (i.e. .NET).

So, I’m wondering where are people getting stuck? How hard is it to deal with complexity as it arises? How extensible is it? Is it worth looking at now or better to wait until the next beta?

I have not yet run into any wall, but the customization hooks based on themes are a real pain. Also, beware that you cannot unit-test any code you add to the LightSwitch project.
