I have not liked my lightning experience overall. There are some awesome things being built with lightning, but I wish it was easier to self host. My experience with integrated lightning in fountain has been great. For now I'm sticking to using custodial wallets and not keeping too much money in there.

My initial reaction when trying to figure out lightning was, this will never be easy to self host and I hope it fails so a better layer 2 could be built. Maybe I listened to podcasts that were too technical. I still kind of want it to fail despite the cool stuff being built.
