the general complaint i see the most often is it's too complicated to use -- but if you read the manual (which is good), most of those confusion goes away.

anki does a lot of things, but all of the defaults are sensible

Terrible UX, sluggish, indexing problems.

Omg, my eyes hurt. Do you use it? If yes, mind giving a use case where its useful?
