Is it just me, or is opensoft/rollout better than #Laravel Pennant for managing simple on/off feature flags?

The one thing that currently baffles me is the caching of feature switch states in the database - I'm having to purge it every time I turn a feature off, which I didn't have to do with rollout.

Not to mention, no out-of-the-box console commands for managing feature flags - they have to be written as code and deployed before they can be used.

Rollout lets you create new feature flags on the fly just by writing the call to check if they're active, you can opt users into it from the commandline, it properly deactivates features when told to, it doesn't hamper performance at all, and a simple helper function is all I need for Blade integration.

Is there a good reason to use #Laravel #Pennant considering it requires more overhead?
