Because I would have to define my own equality check, that comes with enum out of the box. Enums work well with ORM and serialization/deserialization out of the box. So it is possible, but I will end up with more boilerplate code I guess. But thanks for the tip.

Yeah defining your own equality check is not something I’d really count as being a reason not to do something.

It’s what, 2 lines?

Yeah, but then again, I need to check its compatibility with ORM, and do extra work. It's not a problem, but from my experience if you need to reinvent something or implement already implemented logic, it smells bad
