I would like to propose giving users the option to pick what data layer to use for storage. It seems like there are a few most-frequently-cited data storage options that meet different use cases:

• None (e.g. remove ember-data)
• ember-data
• ember-apollo-client
• emberfire (Firebase)
• ember-local-storage
• ember-orbit
• ember-redux

Providing a variety of data layers isn't at cross-purposes with Ember's philosophy; the 2018 approach seems to be moving toward emphasizing that ember-data isn't optional and not required.

I think none is the default now, as ember-data isn't added anymore. Need to check. Really love this category :+1:

I just double-checked and it seems that ember-data is in fact still included in a newly-generated app. This is the case with ember new as well, so unless you're explicitly removing it, it makes sense that it would be included.

Hmm I was thinking about that the data layer is its own question. Not part of the addons. Does that make sense?

It's such an important category of "addons" that imo it deserves it's own question. You can always select ember-data by default in that question to keep with the current default.
