> Elastic is good enough.

Probably the most praise I’ve ever seen about Elastic.

I do respect the amount of power and utility, and it’s definitely a workhorse, but it’s like a horse with one human leg, a bad eye, extra bones but also not enough bones, and a French accent but only knows Korean. Once you get used to the fact that you can’t do what you intend to, but you can do what elastic wants, it becomes a lot more manageable.
