Is Airflow still the default, or are people moving on?

Airflow has been the standard for years, but I’m seeing more teams adopt:

  • Dagster
  • Prefect
  • Managed orchestrators
  • Or even event-driven pipelines

If you were starting from scratch today, would you still choose Airflow? Why or why not?
