It's great for new bitcoin users. It's great for demonstrating how easy & quick bitcoin can be. It's great as a failover for payments (it just works).

I agree that we shouldn't become too reliant on it.

I've been playing with Phoenix wallet recently. It has a few tradeoffs but less than WoS. It works in a high fee environment better than Muun (assuming you've established a channel or 2 already).

With lightning, receiving is the less private element. It can expose the UTxOs used to open your channels. I'm still working through how best to get around this.
