Isn't Postgres worth coupling to? SQLite is a close favorite, for different reasons.

Web servers and database management are two vastly different domains. I'm wary of frameworks that attempt to impose an opinion on both.

[StavrosK]

Rocket isn't a web server, it's a web framework. That's what frameworks should do, impose opinions on things to get all the best practices sorted.

As someone who only uses Postgres and SQLite: No. It's not.

People inevitably have to deal with preexisting systems they can't modify for their needs.

[StavrosK]

Should a framework optimize for the vanishingly rare case?

[e12e]

Integrating with legacy systems (that one cannot, or is difficult to modify) a vanishingly rare case? Thats... quite an assumption.

[StavrosK]

Is it the majority of cases?
