Pros
+ Nice interface
+ Probably the most popular node (and the one I've had the longest) so there is a large support community
+ Biggest selection of applications, also has apps not available on other nodes like Nostr Wallet Connect from @getAlby
Cons
- Telemetry collected seems unneeded and a privacy concern. https://twitter.com/runcitadel/status/1680227793106247681
- Connecting wallets can be confusing (Bitcoin Core, Electrs, Lightning)
- It is currently in beta and is not considered secure. Would not use as a primary node. https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/blob/master/SECURITY.md
Neutral:
~ Home server approach
