Core has one million advantages on compat but easy-installation is not one
of them, a week ago I was trying to teach some bot operators to migrate to
core and there were three main problems:
1- core suggests people to make the user-config in a .pywikibot folder
and people don't like this and changing it isn't easy (for example if you
want to set it as current folder, like compat, which is a common act
because people use several accounts and they need several pywikibot folders
with separated user-config and the system doesn't let you to make a file in
existing director, try doing this)
2- people don't know what command is best for installation:
python pwb.py
python generate_user_files.py
python setup.py install
python ez_setup.py
3- There is an extra external needed (httplib2) and there is no
documentation (in files) at all about them and how we can install them, I
learned about them by experience and this command won't work:
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit> (my friend
told me, I haven't checked it yet)
git submodule update --init
Helping to fix this would fix lots of user-friendliness issues

Indeed documentation ist that part of code which

neglects.
Anyway there are some hints:
README.rst in core Folder

Seems our manual at
mediawiki.org needs some cleanups. We had some
discussions about this theme few days ago.
