I'm caught between the dual urges of "reject tierlist, embrace tradition" and "I've been sleeping on over a decade of FOSS torrent client development, maybe it's time to up my game".

Nah, someone is just using their torrent client as an F grade *arr and nbz360 solution.

All the "features" listed as Pros is just bloat.

Yeah, I'm comfy with my torrent workflow as it is. I don't pirate enough volume to make it worth the time to revise something I spend 0.0006% of my overall time on.

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.
