Not wrong but it functions the best of them all and is the most reliable. I like LibreTube, but it'll stop working a lot for me when NewPipe never fails. I just wish I could get my YouTube front page and recommended on there, I like my algos.

it's getting a rewrite/large modifications to the code

I personally find LibreTube even better, since it syncs with your Piped account.

But you cant cast videos to SmartTube with it. So i think Revanced has the better versatility.
