Trangia has a lot of loyal fans but also gets a lot of criticism.
All I can say is give it a try. It takes some getting used to after using high power liquid fuel stoves but after a little practice I think it's great.
It seems that a lot of the people who are critical have not really used the stove and cook set properly. Read everything you can online from long time users and do what they do. It's a great system.
