I have been using Firebase for two months now and it is a total nightmare to me. The support is awful.

1) I don't get answers on Stackoverflow.

2) I have stopped using your slack as it's close to impossible to get any answer. It's a complete joke.

3) When I tried to google, I often end up getting the legacy documents which are deprecated

4) There are too many breaking changes between your different versions. This makes it so confusing to use angularfire/firebase and finding deprecated code examples.

5) The youtube videos feels like a huge marketing stunts and you are all busy trying to promote an ever changing/incomplete firebase. 10 month old videos are no longer valid because of breaking changes.

6) The security rules difference between firebase storage & firebase database

7) Querying being such a huge pain. There was an effort made in a 2014 blog post but obviously code is obsolete.

I know in the end. It must be the developer's fault who’s not smart enough for firebase maybe.

Hello,

Firebase YouTuber, Slacker, AngularFire contributor, and Stackoverflower here. Feel free to ping me personally in the Slack channel (davideast) of via email (david@firebase.com) to talk more about all of these problems you've hit. We work hard to make sure people get their questions answered so I'd love to have a discussion with you.

I think Firebase is a pretty cool guy. Eh helps you develop high-quality apps, grow your user base, earn more money and doesn’t afraid of anything.
