I can't speak to "most" (ask somebody who routinely uses more than the ~2-3 hww I've ever used), but it's a feature I feel pretty naked/blind without

Seeing the utxos would be classed as coin control, right?  is that now a common feature on most hardware wallets?

Nat Brunel has a promo code to get one for like 99 bucks

that's how evil capitalism gets you, huh, offering yah GOOD STUFF for JUICY PRICES.

to answer your question: I like it for what it does in my setup (first in-out, receive-send wallet) and that multisig/recovery layer 

over a hot phone wallet that I otherwise would have used

 yet had to stresstest this (not recovered or lost my keys or hardware... yet) so I can't speak to how well it works.

 don't like is that I can't see UTXOs or choose from which ones it pulls. (There is a function to consolidate them, and with on-chain monitoring I can make educated guesses but still annoying). Basically any time coins have gone through my BitKey they're polluted from an on-chain surveillance point of view.

Oh, and the fee structure (probs a consequence of the multisig setup) makes it annoyingly expensive to transact (minimum 200-300 sats each tx).

 (again, replacing phone wallets or exchange) the BitKey is amazing... I'd def recommend it to newbies

to answer your question: I like it for what it does in my setup (first in-out, receive-send wallet) and that multisig/recovery layer ***over a hot phone wallet that I otherwise would have used*** gives me a lot of peace of mind. 

I have _not_ yet had to stresstest this (not recovered or lost my keys or hardware... yet) so I can't speak to how well it works. 

What I _really_ don't like is that I can't see UTXOs or choose from which ones it pulls. (There is a function to consolidate them, and with on-chain monitoring I can make educated guesses but still annoying). Basically any time coins have gone through my BitKey they're polluted from an on-chain surveillance point of view. 

Oh, and the fee structure (probs a consequence of the multisig setup) makes it annoyingly expensive to transact (minimum 200-300 sats each tx). 

But _as a hardware wallet_ (again, replacing phone wallets or exchange) the BitKey is amazing... I'd def recommend it to newbies
