Well, as a Gateway user I guess I'll throw in my thoughts and reason for using a Gateway.
I use it because of the convenience factor. Playing games on it is much easier than any other method. Very simple and quick. However, I bought it a long, long time ago when it was really the only...
I've always found GW to be more convenient than CFW once it has been set up. Having to screw off the back plate of the N3DS just to get out the SD card whenever I want to put a CIA on there would be a hassle, and FTP would be much to slow for large files.
The purpose of setting up GW in Cakes (or Pasta) is to create an environment in which GW can actually be set up in, since it can't without OOTD or CN (and I don't want to spend more money buying either of those games). Keep in mind that this is a N3DS, not a O3DS.

But that's beside the...
Well, to avoid any further risk, I would prefer to stay on the current version I'm on and figure out the issue.
Doesn't sound like I'm missing a file or two, does it?
To start off, I downgraded a New 3DS to 9.2 and set up the HBC on it. I'm trying to launch Gateway from the HBC (as instructed by this guide http://scmods.com/gw_guide/GW-3-7-1.pdf), but it hangs at an immediate black screen. After some research on this, I found a tutorial on setting up Gateway...
So I'm still new to this whole thing and my gateway came in today. So I put Smash Bros on it and everything seems to work just fine up until the point I try to open Smash Bros. Like I press select and the title loads, but when I try to open the game I just get a black screen and no update...
Alright so I finally got everything working! But I've been thinking. Is there any real advantage to the CFW over Gateway? As I play around with the CFW some more, I'm finding more problems with it. For example, playing recent games can be a huge pain. I know there's ways to get emunand updated...
So I downgraded today and got the CFW working and everything, but I found out I need to already have a demo or game already installed for the DevMenu to be installed. Am I screwed? I can't connect to the store to download anything.
I just downgraded my 3DS to 4.2 but I'm still receiving the System Update Notification that I previously had when I was at 9.2. I've tried finding solutions to this, but I can't for some reason. Can anyone give me a simplified explanation on how to remove it? Thanks.
if they get permission from 4j (the studio who helped put minecraft on consoles), they could put the console edition tutorial worlds in the game, as seeds
and i mean all of them (if not, maybe a few highlights, like TU1, TU31, and TU69)
