From an EVM builder's perspective Solana sucks. I spent days porting concealmint.com to Solana, and by EVM standards it's dead simple: - Basic 721 contract, anyone can mint, token URI passed in at time of mint - Client accepts information to build a token URI and mints the NFT - Ponder indexer allows me to quickly query mints and owners Porting a perpetual mint like this to Solana was AWFUL. The system and tools in place assume you're going to follow a cookie cutter path of minting one big collection at once. Trying to create an initial collection and mint into it perpetually throws tons of errors. Indexing is built into the RPCs and it SUCKS. I have to wait at least 5-10 seconds for a mint to show up and get a URI to get data back. When I launched the app on mainnet I had to SEND AN EMAIL to Blowfish in order for the app to not get flagged by Phantom. If you just want tokens, Solana is fine. Outside of that the creativity is limited with heavy centralized walls.

Devil’s advocate: would it be the opposite is you were an experienced Solana dev moving to ETH?

had this same issues trying to build on Solana - just too much of a pain for things outside of like 6 smart contract use cases

i learned enough solana dev to hate it last year, the tooling is bad and the paradigms are inconvenient and basically any usecase except launching a token is 100x harder to conceptualize and implement
