Hatch is very featureful and achieves a lot, but for me, a lot of the defaults and how it's configured is entirely backwards from what I expect. I've concluded it is not for me.
My concrete suggestion is that Hatch would be better for me if it was developed by a team and not a single person. Then its core ideas would be judged by multiple people from different angles. As it is now, it's written to the taste and philosophy of a single author.

As an example I see he's in this thread replying to a cousin comment :). Sidebar: the benefit of one person early on in a project's development is that it's much easier to establish conceptual integrity in the Fred Brooks sense: "Conceptual integrity in turn dictates that the design must proceed from one mind, or from a very small number of agreeing resonant minds".
