What do you think has been the biggest development in lightning over the last 4 years?
reply
In random order of importance:
- Splicing
- Better path-finding
- Huge improvement in payment success rates
- Realization that LN isn't perfect, yet is the best working thing we have
- Increasingly being used for large transfers between big players rather than the misguided early marketing focusing only on near-free small payments
I'd say the biggest development is that hype has been replaced by realism, which is usually a good sign as most maturing technologies go through such phases.

I'd love to have the author (Max Webster) revisit this 2020 opinion with how things have developed over the last 4 years.
