What do you think has been the biggest development in lightning over the last 4 years?
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I'd say the biggest development is that hype has been replaced by realism, which is usually a good sign as most maturing technologies go through such phases.
