With all respects to all opinions but... Ill show you my point: i buyed a Gateway card in february after buying a 10.3 N3DS XL. As Downgrade Sysupdater Method wasnt 100% stable and semibricks were still a posibility (no matter what you say its still a lottery right now, recognized as a problem that still needs to be investigated in Plailec's PlaiSysUpdater Github), I keep trusting Gateway to launch the 10.3 support.
Yes, its annoying as hell to wait for these guys. And yes, it was always possible to buy Ocarina of Time in Amazon and prevent a semibrick updating to the last firmware and try again (but that feature came as MemChumHax was "rediscovered" in next FWs).
But the thing is nobody else was able to give 100% safe support for hacking my 3DS. I bet on them with real risk and that promise isnt still fullfiled.
But if they finally success as it seems, I think my point will give you at least, and maybe the only real reason, about Gateway utility right now for users... At least like me.
All points about CFW free stuff are completely right. In fact, i really hated to see years ago 3DS was going to be another massive place for Chinese Manufactured Flashcards and not a real place for free scene hacking.
But now its and you have a real choice. And a few Teams making money of Flashcards, with more or less ethics that I wont argue. Just enjoy the way you take to arrive to this point beyond money, as both are compatible. Guess NDS days were shit compared to this if you look behind with some perspective (as i dont remember seeing any CFW for any model. Im a right? I remember I didnt ever see anything about it, maybe im wrong).
