I run 2x Androids with near 80%-90% of the packages installed from F-Droid repos (to include Bromite and Bitwarden custom repos); it has quirks and is not perfect - but far from "not usable" and "nightmare" as your hyperbole would suggest.

This is exaggerated language, but the described traits are certainly inconvenient, unpleasant, and unnecessarily time consuming for the user.

Same here. Curation could still be better on F-Droid, but I'm very happy with it overall.

Thank you whoever is behind it, you're doing a great job.
