Hello, I'm supposed to start building a new project using nodejs, I'm in a middle of inner conflict between using Adonisjs 5 and Nestjs. I used Express in the past, however, I didn't really feel like using a real framework, I also used Adonisjs 5 for a small project and it did well, but it's documentation doesn't seem to be ready yet. Nestjs has a lot more stars on Github but I'm afraid they are over using decorators also I'm afraid to lose control over the modular architecture (especially because they have the routes inside the controllers). Any advise would help.

My only problem with adonis is it's orm and migration they waste a lot of time while in nest you just nest start -w and you develop your app and annotations make it even faster
