I keep seeing vague answers on other forums so figured I'd ask people who actually know.
What bothers me most is how hard it is to find real, unfiltered opinions. Forums like this are honestly more useful than any best-of list I've found.
The main problem I keep running into is not knowing who to trust or where to start. There's a ton of conflicting advice out there and half of it feels like it's from people who want to sell you something.
If you've got experience with any platforms or approaches that work, drop them below.
