The developer team behind Neo4j has acknowledged the need for a more user-friendly experience, particularly for developers using languages other than Java or those embedded in JVM-based projects. To address this, they are rolling out changes to improve product usability, including a new bi-weekly release schedule and feedback mechanisms such as the Usage Data Collector (UDC), which sends pings back home when users run Neo4j. The UDC provides valuable statistics on user behavior, helping the team make data-driven decisions about feature development. Additionally, they have made immediate usability changes, such as renaming the main download to "Neo4j" and publishing artifacts in Maven central repo, aiming to simplify the experience for a broader range of users.
