We do have mod_dialplan_asterisk if you miss that.
You do realize you did not do it in 10 minutes with asterisk when you first started using it only once you learned how to work it.
Your problem is more with the paradigm shift than the complexity. This is common so it's good that you are adding some wiki pages from you perspective.
I deputize you in charge of training all new users with an asterisk background.
It's harder for us to explain it, however, We did all come from asterisk too 
There are 2 distinct camps of new users.
*) Those who try to make it work like asterisk and take month to learn how the rain in Spain falls gently on the plain.
*) Those who never heard of asterisk before and understand everything instantly.
We need more people to step up and contribute more to the documentation from each perspective , keep up the good work!

I'm in the same boat, finding the transition from Asterisk to FS very frustrating. Something I can do in Asterisk in 10 minutes is taking me a day with FS.
Do I think it's worth it? Absolutely, but it's incredibly painful at times.
What I've done is to create some WIKI pages to help those familiar with Asterisk to understand the nuances of FS. I posted them in the user pages. Hopefully when there are enough contributions we can have a section on the main WIKI entitled 'Asterisk conversion' or something.
Asterisk is very forgiving and takes a lot of the pain away from doing simple tasks. FS on the other hand is less forgiving, but you have more control. Being a control freak I like that.
I kind of liken Asterisk to the early versions of basic. Each command had a line number. You could be up and running basic apps in a few hours. Then jump to C, and you'll spend ages doing a simple task, but once you've mastered it, you'll never go back.

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] [newbie] Clean start with asimple configuration
I think the crux of the matter is "I can't get Freeswitch to do _just_ this" (emphasis added). Users that are relatively new to FreeSWITCH but Asterisk veterans want to know how to build a simple, lean configuration. I'm trying to figure it out myself right now.
If simplified configs are only going to be posted after 1.0.3 what's the best place to post my findings and configs? Is there an explicit, sanctioned place for this kind of thing on the Wiki already?

FreeSWITCH default config already has this feature. Register two
phones... 1000 and 1001 both with password of 1234 then you can call
between them. That will work exactly as you want out of the box.
Expect more simplified configs to show up after 1.0.3.

The key for people coming from Asterisk is to learn the difference
between the WHAT and the HOW. It's admittedly difficult, so any who've
overcome the challenges and can help other new ones to make the
transition are welcome to document their steps.
My advice to Asterisk users who want their FS box to do something that
their Asterisk box can do is this: separate the WHAT from the HOW. In
other words, start at the top (WHAT) and work your way down, not at
the bottom (WHAT). The top-down view is like this: Asterisk allows to
SIP phones to talk to each other. The bottom-up viewpoint is this: I
edited sip.conf, created these PEER entries, then I edited
extensions.conf and added exten => foo... See the difference? Start at
the top: ask yourself, WHAT does my Ast box do? Now, ask yourself, HOW
does FS implement that feature? As much as I like the Rosetta Stone
page (because I started it) I don't think that it is the first place
to go when you are migrating from Asterisk. (Go there *after* you've
played around with FS for a bit.)
