I'm hugely disappointed with OpenTelemetry. In my experience, its an over-engineered mess and the out-of-the-box experience is super user hostile. What it purports to be is so far away from what it actually is. Otel markets itself as a universal tracing/metrics/logs format and set of plug and play libraries that has adapters for everything you need. It's actually a bunch of half/poorly implemented libraries with a ton of leaky internals, bad adapters, and actually not a lot of functionality.
