This would have appealed to me before building a rather large side project with Google Cloud's proprietary Firestore database. There are loads of drawbacks that slowly become apparent the more I build and the deeper I dig myself into that hole. I loved how quickly I was able to get something up and running, and was super excited about it at first. But as I've had to add more and more features and turn it into a real project, being limited to only the tools provided by the vendor has become a real drag. Migration, testing, debugging, is all so much more of a pain. Can't even run my application locally without an internet connection. On top of all of that, there may be pricing hikes, or the service could go away all together.
With that experience, it would be hard for me to be convinced that something like Dark would be worth the risk. With things like this, you don't always realize the drawbacks until it's too late. Now, for my side project, I'm only really stuck with the database - locking myself into a programming language and even a text editor sounds like a nightmare.
