  • Strong enterprise focus with robust features for auth, auditing, and multi-tenancy.
  • Massively accelerates development of complex, data-driven admin interfaces.

WEAKNESSES

  • Steep learning curve due to its unique architecture and heavy abstraction.
  • Primarily suited for specific use cases (admin panels, dashboards), not general web apps.
