Or configurability. I looked at this again now that 1.0 is out, but besides the .NET client still being in an alpha state, it’s also very zero-configuration. There seems to be no configurability regarding tokenization strategies, for example.

Now, I certainly see the appeal, I barely understand my own ES code and meilisearch replicates probably 70% of it with no configuration at all, that’s impressive, but it also means that switching would mean giving up on those 30%.
