Excellent article you wrote. I'm new(ish) to GOS as well.
What have you found best/most comfortable/easy-to-use with Graphene?
What have you found to be its limitation/frustrations/issues/trade-offs, etc. ?
Thanks, but I'm not an expert. I have stubbornly refused to use the Google Play Services, so I have had a few challenges. For the most part, though, it has been fairly easy. I should mention that I don't do any banking, paypal, venmo stuff.

Same boat with you; I use zero banking-related apps, zero playstore connections, etc. Basically just a Bitcoin/Nostr/P2P device and works great. No eSIM either, no need just use public wifi with VPN (for me at least).
Haven't missed out on much. Overall great experience so far.
One downside I noticed is I have trouble using any Nostr-extension logins like NIP46 or nsecbunker for remote sign-in for things like here on SN, or nostr clients.
Problem is since Graphene is so closed-off and sandboxed in ways the apps have difficult time communicating with each other in the background.
Overall works great though.

Same! I do run into nostr issues. I must say the SN PWA works great on Vanadium

No. I honestly haven't been spending much time on nostr recently.
