   Steep learning curve for non-JavaScript developers

   Schematics heavily relies on JavaScript patterns and idioms, which can be challenging for developers unfamiliar with the language.

2. 02

   Limited integrations with non-JavaScript ecosystems

   While Schematics is powerful in JavaScript environments, it lacks native support or robust integration options for other languages such as Python or Ruby.

3. 03

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   Historical version updates have included significant API changes that required substantial refactoring of existing codebases.

4. 04

   Poor documentation for advanced use cases

   The official documentation focuses on basic usage and lacks comprehensive guides or examples for more complex scenarios.

What it does well
