Its shaping engine has fewer bugs and is actively developed to keep it
up to date with recent developments in fonts and support for complex
scripts.
In the future, I hope we will be able to enable advanced features like
ligatures and color emoji, but this is not yet in the code base.

It depends on what scripts you use routinely. If you are using Latin
scripts and little else, just verifying that you see no strange
display artifacts, and that HELLO displays correctly, is enough for
now.
