Kubeflow is awesome. If you cant see it, its just a Skill Issue.

[@adrianpaleacu]

yes

[@johnrobert6751]

Kubeflow is good but it is complicated

[@adrianpaleacu]

Complex not complicated. Please refrain from having comments like these

[@sasankv9919]

I initially felt it was too complex but then when you really know why you have so many tools in hand, it all makes sense. ML workflows are complex and I'd trade features over oversimplified abstractions.

@@adrianpaleacu really not an argument, people give their opinion. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it 🤷‍♂️

[@adrianpaleacu]

@@Cbon-xh3ry knowing KF from version 0.4 I would say is complex, not complicated in my opinion. You can't easily say is "complicated" instead of complex.

[@Cbon-xh3ry]

@@adrianpaleacu you can say whatever you feel about it, it’s subjective. Like you said it’s your opinion.
