The excellence is real: this is the trust-and-openness gold standard for XMR, fully open source, non-custodial, officially maintained, and carrying a clean track record that several higher-scoring, brand-polished wallets cannot match. No part of the score reflects doubt about the product's integrity. The cap comes entirely from scope and friction. One coin, one platform class, a seed format that surprises newcomers, a node decision with privacy stakes the interface undersells, and an install experience that starts with an antivirus warning. On a general wallet scale those limits are worth several points. Inside its niche they mostly dissolve. If the question is "what is the most trustworthy way to hold Monero on a desktop," the answer is this wallet, ideally over your own node or Tor, with a hardware device signing anything sizable.
