- great for prototyping all kinds of apps (non production usages) or unit testing
- pretty good experience with raw queries
- it's an orm, so boooo!
- plug n play
- creation of models feels mandatory (sequelize-auto can be used to auto-generate your models if there's an existing db)
- there is no pluck() to flatten queries like select * from table1 (currently resolving this by writing out another variable for every query)
