I'd recommend giving it another try at some point and if you have time to tinker. I'm 2 years in and although there was a learning curve -- as someone coming from 100% iPhone/Apple ecosystem maxi (peak convenience) -- I absolutely love it now.

Things that I think might trip some people up is stuff like

- Lack of Google Wallet support

- Some Banking apps do not work

- Android Auto is now supported but I have found unreliable so avoid it

- If you use apps eg. Uber you'll need to enable Google Location services (or whatever its called)..

Generally though, I've been able to settle on workarounds for all of these issues.

For a while I tried not to use Google Play Services, but settled on installing it so I could still use some normie apps. Its sandboxed anyway (unlike factory Android) so I feel like I've found a balance of control/privacy/convenience.
