Retarded take, there are well engineered lightning wallets for end users, but a pure lightning node like CLN or LND needs to expose the raw stuff and is not built for ease of use in regards to simple payments. Its built as a powerful tool to interact with the lightning network in all possible ways. Saying CLN is not user friendly enough is like saying the back end software of your bank is not user friendly enough (which they hire engenieers for)

Yes, and consider how centralized and permissioned the backend software of your bank is. Complexity go up, decentralization go down. And that's exactly what we see with lightning. Overwhelmingly used custodially

maxis always blame others and never self reflect. you used the wrong wallets, you connected to the wrong nodes, you messed up your channels... how about build a L2 that doesn't have a wrong wallet, a wrong node, or a wrong channel? a L2 that isn't for pocket change on a microblog echochamber? is that so hard? there is no second-best.
