What do you like best about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
The best thing I like about this API is its capability to create a 3Dimensional map as easily as a 2D map. It just requires a few lines of code for doing so. It helps in creating best visualizations for bookmarks, data and pop-ups.
Therefore, it saves a lot of time required for the above tasks without this API.
It helps in creating an appealing UI screen and responsive site. The implementation is very clear and working with the properties is pretty straightforward for the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
It has very less drag & drop options, therefore you need to learn the curve before using it. It also has a preference for Dojo over jQuery, which is not liked by me. I can say if I could use both of them together, it will be a very good experience.
Apart from these, it is overall a very good API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
Very good documention, with lots of examples and great community support on the forums. Allows for a huge range of customisation. They leave a lot of scope for the developer to choose how to do things. Can also quickly and easily incorporate it with other libraries such as Jquery and angular Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the change over from 3.x to 4.x, not all of the functionality was directly replicated. Esri is slowly bring features from 3.x to 4.x Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
Perhaps my only dislike is the look and feel of the apps are a little generic and despite having the ability to insert your organisations logos and the like they all still feel a little sterile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
The ability to use GIS objects within the API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
Using an API is not that simple. If there is something you are not aware of or do not know you have to depend on the documentation. I believe more documentation is needed for this product including more advanced examples (not just the simple ones). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
