Resonate with the assessment. I like guidance too so far, but the dev community is far behind langchain.
One big problem I have with langchain is that there are too many wrappers, and its often very confusing what little additional functionality each wrapper is adding up.

Yeah, there are so many platforms out there. It is incredibly tough to figure out who will be heading in the right direction.

Personally, I like the more declarative approach that Microsoft is taking with guidance [0]. The two projects are not substitutable at the moment, and might even complement each other, but I'm weary of building a new ecosystem on a possibly overly-complicated first pass solution to the orchestration problem.
