The convenience of an all-in-one solution is nice, as is the shader support.

That said, when I'm setting up something new, it ultimately depends on my current tolerance level for Retroarch's UI. It's scattered, bloated, and not intuitive. Setting up something that should take five minutes can easily take a half hour or more. Standalone frontends aren't always better, but they often are.

The shaders are the single best reason to prefer RA over standalone. But I agree with everything you've said. I've used RetroArch for like five years now and I still regularly run into issues where I thought I had it set up "good" but then something doesn't work. So confusing.
