I agree with trying out xgboost and vw first, they are quite efficient for getting a baseline, maybe even for the final model. But it only takes a little more to whip up Keras and try a MLP, CNN or LSTM. It's quite accessible.

No argument.

But for most of the datasets that most people see you won't actually do any better - you just don't have enough data for a deep neural network to work, and you probably have to do the feature engineering work anyway.
