Being a huge fan of RDF, I say, plow ahead and you will find the immense benefit of it.

OTOH, many developers are, for reasons similar to what you’ve stated, not as excited about RDF as I am. Therefore there are now many Solid libraries that abstract away from RDF some similar to ORM tools many are familiar with. The Inrupt Solid-Client library, LD-Flex, and other tools and libraries can be found [here](https://solidproject.org/developers/tools/).

As for having to think about data (a separate topic from RDF), yes this requires some effort, but it is an absolutely vital thing that needs changing in the computing world - separation of data and apps is key to user control.
