It has been such a pleasure to use dagster. The testability is nice. It was designed to be type aware, so you can leverage type checks and it is also designed to be data aware when it comes to passing data between tasks. One negative I dont like is its handling of instances where a task does not produce output, but need to still indicate dependency of another task, so you utilize its Nothing abstraction. The syntax for this situation is awkward IMO and they've recognized that. Its UI called dagit is hands down, the best as it provides rich information on each task in your DAG. The developer experience is definitely better with dagster compared to Airflow. I briefly looked at Airflow 2.0 examples, and I still think dagster's API is better ( with version 0.13.x ). However, on the managed environment side, there is no 3rd party managed dagster provider other than the creator of dagster called Elementl has their cloud offering which is currently in beta. So there is no mature managed services for dagster yet. Again, this is due to dagster being a relatively new library - less than 3 years old.
