    Migrating our large rust codebase from failure to anyhow/thiserror has been considered a large QoL improvement. I'd recommend investing time into doing the conversion.

        Can you expand on how QoL has improved?

        Multiple people have reached out about the improved readability of error messages. We interop with the standard trait now. We have a clean split between dynamic and structured error handling.

        Honestly, I’m highly tempted to just drop back to std Error at this point. The number of time I’ve converted is getting a bit onerous.

        std::error::Error is totally usable now! Maybe use `thiserror` to generate nice structured errors though.

        But literally everyone including you told me to use failure!

        That was a while ago though! std::error::Error wasn't ready yet

        Urg, this whole error debate again... Using just the std errors was good enough for me and I don't have to migrate once a year to a new preferred way to handle them. :)

        Using std::error::Error is acceptable to me now! It wasn't in the past, but is good now. thiserror is a good choice for elegantly making those errors. anyhow is nice if you have dynamic errors. I don't feel this guidance is in conflict with your sentiment.

        Is there a blog post written about this migration?
