I find one of the biggest problems with lightning right now is there seems to be a lot of education required to use it properly.

To use lightning directly you have to manage various payment channels, keep your inbound and outbound liquidity balanced, and this leads to a lot of people turning to custodial solutions which I find is against the spirit of the whole thing.

Perhaps as the network grows in users, there will be enough liquidity in the system that people won't have to manage their liquidity manually?
