@nikolasburk can you comment? Before compiling this list I was seriously considering using Prisma to kick off a big upcoming project. In the spirit of being open-minded I'd really like to know if I'm fundamentally misunderstanding Prisma capabilities.

This is a pretty extensive list! Are all of these points are full blockers for you or are there individual points that you care more about while others might be rather "nice to have"? If most of them are real blockers, you probably shouldn't use Prisma [1], and that's ok :)

Prisma certainly is not perfect and whether you should use it depends on your project and individual requirements. What I can tell you is that we are shipping releases [2] with new features and improvements every two weeks. We are also very eager to learn about more use cases that people want to accomplish with Prisma. The best way to bring these to our attention is by commenting on existing GitHub issues and creating new ones if the one for your use case doesn't exist yet. This helps us prioritze and implement these new features. We also have a roadmap [3] where you can see all the features that we are currently working on.

Hope that helps for now!

Thanks for getting back to me!

Most of these are pretty important to us. I did try to put lower priority items near the bottom of the list. However, I did omit several nice-to-haves already. e.g. ActiveRecord's ability to diff changes after an update (ActiveModel::Dirty)

I wouldn't say any of them are complete full blockers by themselves but cumulatively yes they prevent us from considering Prisma for most projects.
