99% of the time you don't notice. Some banking apps don't work (most do) and gpay doesn't work (doesn't matter to me I carry a wallet)

    Still have to jump through hoops to even get gapps without compromising the whole point of the OS.

    I wouldn't call it hoop jumping. It's a great OS not sure what to tell you, sounds like you're resistent to adopting a different view point.

    The strength of an OS comes from the available apps/programs. Android and iOS have that in spades, but in order to access it on graphene it's deliberately obtuse. I'm fine running Lineage with gapps or whatever, but it always felt like Graphene was fighting me every step of the way and just getting in the way.

    I ran cyanogenmod for years but that was before Google tightened their grip on the reigns and tried to make running anything other than stock a pain.
