Bit late to the party, but I concur. One quick thing to mention, is that SQL and Relational Databases have moved forward considerably since we were using Class::DBI. I'm now working on a project using latest Postgres features, and I've been literally astonished at some of the new stuff that's being made available by modern relational databases, full JSONB support that's strong enough for us to replace Mongo, as well as a variety of changes to SQL such as LATERAL joins mean that the rules are changing under our feet as developers and that means we can't just stand still either in how we write database code. Fortunately we've been able to support these via DBIx::Class using method modifiers and wrappers and helper classes, as well as the occasional "big string of literal SQL' but obviously as an entirely self-interested user (whose most useful contribution is usually acting as crash test dummy for how idiot proof it is) I believe both developers and users need to keep up with relational databases or be left behind. Thanks again to Peter, Matt and all the contributors - I (and I'm pretty sure the clients and employers I've had for the last decade) have appreciated the hard work you've put into this project.
