Great project. I used it a lot, but now I mostly prefer ad hoc generators. Hypothesis combinators quickly become unmaintainable mess for non-trivial objects. Also, shrinking is not such a big deal when you can generate your data in a complexity-sorted order.
What is complexity sorted order?
When you generate randomized data in an order from the simplest to the most complex.
Isn't that very wasteful or difficult to do in practice? If you consider that shrinkers generally take lower numbers to be 'simpler' than higher numbers, complexity-ordering requires you to generate all the numbers from low to high
