Have you ever used any of those features of tensorflow though? They're all, er, idiosyncratic. If you're a decent software engineer and are following the mafs well from a book, I couldn't reccomend Jax highly enough. (I work on big tf RL projects every day).

That’s true. I’m still a student and haven’t really shipped a large ML project. Most of my ETL is done using scrapers, manual Pandas transformations, and storage in flat files. But yeah, I see your point, and frankly I don’t think there’s too big of a user base around these specialized features. Not to mention that some can be, erm, difficult to use. A friend tried using the YouTube-8M dataset in TFRecords format for a project and was extremely annoyed at the complexity.
