Strongly disagree with PGVector's DX being worse than Chroma. Installing, configuring, and working with Chroma was infuriating -- it's alpha software and has the bugs and rough edges to prove it. The tools to support and interface with postgres are battle-tested and so much nicer by comparison; getting Chroma working took over a week, ripping it out and replacing with PGVector took a couple hours.
Also agree with this[0] article that vector search is only one type of search, and even for RAG isn't necessarily the one you want to start with.
