Pros
Pro Solid SMS service
Never had a failure.
Pro Simple
'Just works'. Very smooth setup.
Pro Open source
Pro Free and easy to work with
Pro Frees one from other parasitic, eternal wallet bleeding software
Good software is written once and well, and then sold with a perpetual license. Happy users are welcome to buy new versions in future years or continue using the one they already bought. Toxic business models feature CEO's explaining the juicy but unwarranted revenue stream they will create with gullible user's wallets by charging monthly/annual fees for software that should have been written once, paid for once. Thanks to KDE we can choose the former and are free to reject the latter.
Pro Works with Win10 Laptop and Android phone
Pro Works perfectly with Gnome using the GSConnect extension
Cons
Con Messages take too long to arrive to the recipient
Message appears to have gone through, but in reality they don't arrive to the recipient device for another 5 or 10 mins.
Con Shaky notification mirroring
Using the Chrome extension, it's a bit hit and miss.
