@thomasnield9727 I prefer Observable.create in almost all other situations as it remains lazy, cancellable, composable, etc.

@thomasnield9727 with Observable (pure push), they are useful in some cases but honestly are generally not appropriate and cause grief.

@thomasnield9727 with Flowable, basically never. As they are both an input and multicast output, they only properly work with pure push.

@thomasnield9727 with a pure push Observable, replay and multicast behavior are easily implemented by sinking to the appropriate Subject.
