Is BWT algorithm suitable for all types of alignment task?
Some widely used aligner like bwa-mem or bowtie2 use BWT algorithm. I was wondering what this algorithm is suitable for, what is the limitation, what is the alternative tool for a particular task.

BWT based aligners have been applied to most problems already, namely BWA for DNA, Olego for RNA and Biscuit for bisulfite sequencing. STAR is an RNA aligner that uses a large suffix array. There are other tools like kallisto that compare kmer content to perform mapping.
