No dig at you, but I take the average langchain user as one who is either a) using it because their C-suite heard about at some AI conference and had it foisted upon them or b) does not care about software quality in general.

I've talked to many people who regret building on top of it but they're in too deep.

I think you may come to the same conclusions over time.

Great insight that you wouldn’t get without HN, thank you! What would you and your peers recommend?

		LangChain does not solve any actual problem, so there is no need to replace it with anything. Just build without it.

Thanks for the reply, and no offense taken. I've inherited some code that uses LangChain, and this is my first experience with it.
