What we're looking at
The value of an alternative client is not having the longest feature list. It is making useful things easier. Our testing focuses on connection reliability, navigation, diagnostics and whether its added tools help in actual mesh use.
NBC verdict: pending.
Installed and actively being evaluated. No final recommendation yet.
