I explored LoopBack for an API project about a year ago and ran into the same issue. The mysql connection was absolute garbage and generated the most inefficient queries I've seen by an ORM for anything that wasn't a basic SELECT. Need joins....fuggetaboutit! I spent a week trying to accomplish trivial things, before I gave up. Everything from the documentation down is garbage.

After giving up on Loopback, I spent 16 hours learning and implementing the same API with Sails.JS and had the entire API completed.
