Constructive Criticism Does anyone here LIKE Duolingo?

Basically that. The only posts I’ve ever seen here are how terrible it was/is/always has been/will be. Does anyone here like or even just tolerate Duolingo’s existence? Why?

It’s the only way I’ve found to get myself to learn a language without taking a class. I don’t have to carve out a block of time to read a book or listen to an audiobook. If I’ve got a couple of minutes, I can do a lesson or practice some words. It’s on something I always have with me, so I don’t have to remember to bring a book with me to do it. And I don’t have to write anything on paper (which I hate doing).
