Would you care to elaborate?
Here is quick comparison table posted below, but in essence Core Lightning is developed and maintained by Blockstream and some people could have issue with that.
And LND is developed and maintained by Lightning Labs!
World Economic Forum Lightning Labs, you know.
I am not saying Core Lightning is bad but there is much more things built on top of LND at the moment, however you can use anything you like more.
Yes; I know. They pushed a lot to get included in platforms like
Umbrel to be the default Lightning node and such, but objectively speaking, I find CLN the better software.
Besides the little WEF story, they've also actively pushed back against stuff like
BOLT12, without a satisfactory response.
There are pros and cons for both of them, and Core Lightning is much better if you have low spec hardware for your node.
Even with good hardware; if you ran a large node, LND started to get dodgy. When the database got too large (few GB) - no matter if you have terabytes on hand - it slowed the whole node down to a halt. I believe by now, they support different databases, but it was a serious issue even like a year ago.
All the other wallets I have found seem to only support LND? Is there a practical way to use C-Lightning with a phone?
There is a good reason why almost everyone switched to LND
I just went through
https://www.lightningnode.info/comparison and didn't find a 'good reason everyone switched to LND' you mentioned.
