Why not LND?

LND, and Lightning Labs’ behavior is actively harmful to the development of the Lightning Network.

They have refused to implement specifications such as Bolt12 and dual-funded channels.

It is also by far the most annoying node implementation I used. Not to mention that all the issues I had (including losing half of my capacity at one point) were with LND peers.
