I have also used which-key at least a year or two, and I have just one small issue with it: sometimes, when there are lots of options, it renders botom line only partially. It renders it little behind the minibuffer, I see only half the height of the bottom line. For me it is not a major issue, and is probably not hard to fix, I just didn't bother myself, but if you would have it in Emacs then it might need fix.
