>I'll get on my soap box then. The redis client ecosystem is fractured and awful, and it's mostly Cluster's fault. Getting cluster right is really hard, and most clients do it inconsistently and get something wrong, if they tried at all (hiredict doesn't for example).

Fair point, I think it's prudent to recognize this as a weakness in the ecosystem. But I would also say that applies generally of cluster, sentinel, etc, in all respects. I know this is a focus area for valkey for that reason.
