I've been running a minor CLN node for a while and it definitely feels like the grass is greener on the LND side of things. At least without digging really deep into the guts of it.

The rebalancing I've been doing via commandline, though there might be a simpler way by now. Haven't followed the progress that closely lately.

Thanks. When you say you have been rebalancing via commandline, how do you do that? For now I expect to mostly only receive LN payments and not have to send any myself, so I would be overall using it in a very unbalanced way...

Edit: Based on what I read from the links posted by DaveF, that would be PeerSwap, correct? Thanks!

Actually I've been using the rebalance plugin, rebalancing individual channels manually:

Running a larger node with good liquidity will definitely require some automation though and the LND ecosystem seems to have a lower learning curve in that regard.
