I looked at chatterbot and then looked at botframework. Chatterbot takes seconds to setup and looks easy enough to work with assuming you have the space for the model. BotFramework looks like this almost cryptic pile of crap which makes zero sense, and it uses a custom model, or custom adapters which makes it a pain in the ass to load date into it without writing custom adapter code. Like why cant they just make stuff simple, instead of overcomplicating crap?

From a developer perspective it's much worse.

You simply don't get surprised when it doesn't work as expected.

They also do everything they can to push you away from common industry tools in favor of shitty Microsoft alternatives that barely work. Eg. Azure DevOps.
