Question
What service do you use to programmatically send transactional emails?
I went though all the mail*.com and sendgrid.com but in most cases the documentation as well as the node.js package were a mess (if there was any at all).
I feel quite disappointed and I’m thinking to go back to using AWS SES.
Is it the right choice? Did I miss something?

For transactional email, I usually go with Postmark or SES. You don't necessarily need a node package, as they all support sending via SMTP as well.
We're using Postmark (we send about 500 emails/month). Very easy to set up. We were hesitating with Mailgun but it's not really optimized for marketers/ business guys [there is no template builder like mailchimp/postmark has].
Hope it helps.
How good is Postmark's template builder vs. say ones in Mailchimp?
Personally I use Mailjet using SMTP. For most services, plain simple SMTP works best.
Mostly on price (they have a generous free tier) and the fact that they are a European company. Also there template language works great.

I’ll give a look at Postmark.
As for SMTP, most services discourage its use and encourage using their (undocumented) API.
