I have raised those issues, My point is  until such time as core is free of these issues, and is stable for a long enough period to establish that it is mature enough to be the sole product, which right now I never suggest core to a new user, means that compat, a tested fairly easy to use and stable platform should not be abandoned.

OMG... such issues must be discussed and resolved, no matter if compat is to be deprecated or not.

Im the same way, Ive tried setting up core half a dozen times in the last 18 months and each time within 5 minutes Ive run into critical issues that make running it non-feasible

To me, the actual functionality of core is zero. I have tried to install it three or four times, and failed every time. Just to check again, I did another attempt. First, trying to download and run compat:

download compat
try to run
answer a number of questions that auto-create a user-config.py
ready

Now core:
download core
read INSTALL
try 'python setup.py install'
** 'Python is not recognized as a command'
ok, we're running window, so 'setup.py install' instead
** something is downloaded, all kind of files are being copied
** error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
Check the internet (Stack Overflow) and see that it means that the setup program assumes that Visual Studio is installed
Check the internet for a download for Visual Studio
** Not free, just a 90 day free trial
Say blergh and give up
