Hi! Tim from Realm here. Glad to hear that Realm's been working out well for you in place of Core Data. :)

In response to your drawbacks there: * Definitely try out the Realm Mobile Platform. We're also looking at leveraging CloudKit to seamlessly authenticate all devices belonging to a user. * Multi-process encryption wasn't possible until relatively recently (Issue #1845 on our newly open-sourced realm-core project!), so we'll definitely be looking at it from now. Please do thumbs-up any of our GitHub issues for features that you would like. * We've published articles on how the Realm Core works in the past, but now that it's open-source, you can go and see the code for yourself! * It's possible to generate compacted copies of Realm files, so you can implement this functionality yourself if you need it. We've had long discussions about whether this should be an automatic feature, but we feel in most cases it would be premature optimization.
