To help answer your question, here's a detailed comparison from the attrs project: https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/why.html There's some obvious potential for bias there, but I thought most of the argume

FWIW, I've had ChatGPT suggest things I wasn't aware of. For example, I asked for the cleanest implementation for an ordered task list using SQLAlchemy entities. It gave me an implementation but then suggested I use a feature SQ

Costs are fine IMO. I'd rather see quality improve, even at a reasonable cost increase, and the disappearance of the alphabet soup brands and similar.
