Overall Satisfaction with SharePoint Designer
SharePoint Designer is now only used for older SharePoint farms (2010 or 2013 generally). We use it at my company to view old workflows and SharePoint content (on old farms) to prepare for migrations to SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365). We don't recommend companies use it for new work at this time. It is being phased out by Microsoft and replaced by new tools in SharePoint Online such as Power Automate. If you do have old SharePoint farms you can use it, but again, I would not recommend using it to create new workflows.
