I've been using it for ages. It's awesome. I think the only issue I've ever had with it is some Bluetooth weirdness. Honestly, the reason I keep using it is the ability to use custom genres from the metadata as search windows. I have a bunch of custom genres (like performer which removes all the ft. xyz nonsense in artist listings) that I always find hard to access easily on most other players.
For local music it's my preferred client as well. I've set mine up to resemble the old iTunes interface, with three panes: artist (left), album (right), and song (bottom), and explicitly configured it to use album artists instead featuring blah blah.
For network-based music Navidrome is very good. A good client for that on desktop is https://github.com/victoralvesf/aonsoku. It's Electron, but I don't mind. Ironically, it was Tauri based until a few months ago and that was much heavier and buggy, which is what people complain about with Electron.
