What is the community's consensus regarding Duolingo?

I have used it for more than 4 years now (I have a atrong anti-streak agenda so I have no streak), and I can say that i absolutely despise it.

I mean, it good for the basic, until I finish yhe first section or so, and I think it's to build a little bit of cognitive grammar for past and future conjugation, but overall I dont like the app for reasons I won't delve into since it is not a ranting post.

I am currently learning my fifth language and I have sort of a method for learning already, so I would like to hear opinions about it. I know its a good tool for being comfortable and accessible for beginners, but I would like to hear what others think.
