One thing about Feathers is that we really tried to not reinvent the wheel. There really isn't much to learn if you already know Express (in fact you can just replace Express with Feathers in an existing application) but it makes it much quicker to get a database backed REST API up and running - with real-time websocket events for free. I do encourage you to give it a quick try and maybe even let us know if that still left you fatigued.
That is interesting. To my knowledge none of the alternatives have code samples up front. We did some testing on different page combinations and it turned out that most devs didn't even bother to look at the code if they didn't have a reason to do so and the main reason from the feedback we got was to know first why it is different to the alternatives.
Code samples on the frontpage also had the problem that people thought it is the only way things can be used (e.g. providing a MongoDB example made it seem like nothing else is supported).
It is a work in progress though and will definitely be improved.
