Having used both Liquibase and Flyway, I prefer Liquibase. For what it's worth, Liquibase does support raw sql migration too: http://www.liquibase.org/documentation/index.html

Yes Liquibase is very flexible in how you can author changesets; it's certainly nice too that you can format it in XML, YAML, JSON, or SQL. All that said, what makes you say you prefer Liquibase to Flyway?

The main reason I prefer Liquibase over Flyway does not exist anymore, that was being able to downgrade my DB schema. It really is a new feature in Flyway and they were against it for a godly long time: https://github.com/flyway/flyway/issues/109

And there is nothing in Flyway that Liquibase can't do and there is no reason to change back.
