It has been some time since SharePoint 2013 came out bringing us the new App Model. There is a nice number of Apps in the Office store already and it seems to me that this model is starting to catch up among us developers.
For me it is simply great, especially in the SharePoint Online. What are your experiances and how do you like the new App model?
The App Model is definitely a step in the right direction for Microsoft since they are pushing the cloud. For developers or companies who are new to SharePoint, the App Model is a great starting point.
However, as someone who develops custom solutions for clients who insist on flexible solutions with a small budget and quick turnaround, I find it hard to make the transition from farm solutions to the app model.
Part of the problem is simply learning the new way (App Model) vs. doing what has already been proven (Farm Solutions). The other issue I’ve had is similar to that of using Sandbox Solutions. They may get you 90% of the way there, but there always seems to be specific requirement that requires a farm solution to fulfill.
