FWIW the author is pretty direct about this. After the cute beginning, he basically says that his problem is with Airflow's scope, not it's execution.


Hence the bait and switch. IMHO increasing the scope of Airflow (or any tool) is a challenging proposition. Would you rather use very few mega-tools with very broad scope (and potentially more challenging domain to navigate) or fewer more specialised tools that interoperate well together?

Obviously there are trade-offs with either approach, but then I'd argue that making Airflow solve more problems will introduce more trade-offs too.


Having a poor scope is a problem because people will just choose not to use you.
