What does the Horde think about decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.

I’m curious to hear from everybody here what their thoughts are about decentralized exchanges (aka DeX) like Uniswap, SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, Quickswap, etc.

Have you used them before either for trading or staking? Was the experience good? What do you like about them? What do you dislike? What made you choose one versus the other? If you staked liquidity, how did you think about where and and what to stake?

But I’m also interested about hearing if you’ve never used one. Are you aware of DeXs in general? What is your understanding about the different brands out there, e.g. Uniswap vs SushiSwap? Has anyone done a good job explaining how they work? Are you planning on trying them at some point in the future? Is there any specific issue that turns you off from them? Do they feel they’re accessible and usable or too technically complex? If you have friends who’ve used them, how was their experience?

The reason I ask is because I’ve started a project with the goal of building the next generation DeX. I’d like to create a much better user experience that brings more people into the space. But to do so, I need to understand people’s pain points.

The Horde is, IMO, one of the best crypto communities anywhere on the Internets. If I could build the community around my project to look anything like the one here, I’d be ecstatic. You guys are the profile of my ideal users. So anything you can tell me about your opinion on the topic would be incredibly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced for all the helpful replies I know I’m going to get. I’ll do my best to use it and create something that the Horde can be proud of.
