Cons

Documentation has gaps and some advanced use cases require reading GitHub issues or the source code to understand+108
The ORM is still relatively young and some features like soft deletes and complex relations require more boilerplate than Prisma+97
Error messages when queries fail can be cryptic and don't point to the line in your code that caused the problem+81
No GUI like Prisma Studio — you need a separate tool like TablePlus or pgAdmin to inspect and edit data visually+76
