Modular but not yet friendly enough for newcomers
I got excited about Celestia’s approach to modular blockchain architecture because it promises flexibility that traditional chains can’t match. However, my experience was mixed because setting up a node to handle consensus separate from execution was tricky without prior deep blockchain knowledge. The available tutorials helped somewhat but didn’t cover some edge cases I ran into, especially around syncing delays. Also, the tooling isn’t as polished as I'd hoped for large-scale testing environments, which slowed down my development cycle. That said, the promise of being able to customize blockchains without the usual monolithic constraints is a huge plus for future projects.
