> Does every app using an adapter for Better Auth need to implement every plugin’s many thousands of operations, even if they’re only using basic functionality and a handful of operations?

No, and actually if you really really wanna override the core database calls, we have a way to do so. You just need to write a hook or custom plugin to override the `internalAdapter`.

> Auth.js did everything we need regarding authentication

I don’t think this is true. Any sufficiently complex project has had to add a lot of customization and logic on top of NextAuth to make it even somewhat complete. I was one of those people, which is exactly why I started Better Auth.

> auth in JS is in a sorry state

That’s been the case long before we started Better Auth, it’s the reason we built it in the first place. I hope we’ll be able to change that narrative. But I think what we already have is something other ecosystems can only wish for. Some references:
