First time using CI4 and so far it is fantastic!

Just wanted to say that I am finally building my first project with CI4 - I am glad I waited. I am delighted to say that so far it is proving to be absolutely wonderful.

I had a hiccup that lasted a few days in all honesty with my filter redirect not working, then with my manual model not connecting to the database (both my own fault of course). In fact I nearly gave in and reloaded CI3 into the project. Glad now I did not.

And I am sure there will be many more hiccups along the way. But I am astounded at just how much work and thought and planning has gone into CI4. There is a learning curve that my familiarity with CI3 did not prepare me for, but my testing so far in what CI4 has to offer makes CI4, IMHO, leagues ahead of CI3.

Even now, just a few days into using CI4 for the very first time, CI3 is feeling a bit outdated (and I have many CI3 projects I still work on). CI4 just feels like a completely different and more flexible/powerful way of working already.

I have fallen in love with it straight away.

Thank you, it is brilliant.
