I consistently hear great things from Dspy users. At the same time, it feels like adoption is always low.

Stranger still: it seems like every company I have worked with ends up building a half-baked version of Dspy.

Two issues:

1. People don't want to switch frameworks, even though you can pull prompts generated by DSPy and use them elsewhere, it feels weird.

2. You need to do some up-front work to set up some of the optimizers which a lot of people are averse to.
