Thanks, this is a great comment. Love the observation that event sourcing only makes sense for parts of a system.

Could be that some of the bad experiences we hear about are from people applying it to fields like content management (I've been tempted to try it there) or applying it to whole systems rather than individual parts.

No problem and likewise. Conversations like this are great because they constantly make me re-evaluate what I think/say and often times I'll come out of it with a different opinion.

Amen. And I think what most people miss is that it's really hard to do for domains you're just learning about. And I don't blame people for feeling frustrated.
