<i>Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat on OpenShift so I'm biased, but this opinion is my own</i><p>Odo is an interesting tool to me. In the K8s/OpenShift space there's always been a tension between "admin facing" and "developer facing" interfaces. Devs and sysadmins have mostly had to use interfaces more tailored to devops pros and people familiar with how K8s works. Numerous efforts to fix this have been tried, odo being one of them.<p>I didn't like odo at first because it felt like a leaky abstraction. It still may be, but I'm warming up to the idea quite a bit, especially as it is maturing and seems to be adding real value not easily realizable with `oc`. I'm looking forward to diving into odo 2 and trying it out.
