Macaroons are great. I was using them successfully in a (now dead) product. Very easy to reason about when you get the basics. Unfortunately the ecosystem is small and the effort spent of getting colleagues on board (i.e. convincing them you're not using some fringe thing) was substantial and continuative.

I think part of the problem of Macaroons is the belief that there should be an ecosystem of them, and a standard, and standard libraries. They make work best when they're custom tailored to the applications that really want them.
