I don’t think so. You originally said “Pretty much everyone without a vested in Dronelink thinks Litchi is the better choice“ and @parkgt said that he doesn‘t think that’s the case (I agree with him) and I was simply trying to help work out why Dronelink didn’t work for you. I’m happy that Litchi does what you want but Dronelink is probably the more flexible (if more complex) app.
I've been flying waypoint missions with Litchi for over a year and I can do pretty much anything you can with Litchi waypoints. I recently looked into Dronelink also but haven't taken the plunge yet.
But remember that in most countries (without special permission) it’s illegal to continue an autonomous/waypoint mission if you lose contact with the drone so not a disadvantage of using Dronelink.
I didn't think about that .
You can download from their site. Straight forward and easy for those so inclined, not so much for those who don't know how to use internet and Android. And yes it knows what your flying when you connect. Been using it for over 5 years...it is the premier picked program and always has been. The ability to use your computer to program missions alone makes it a winner in my book. It might not be in depth as others, but has all functions it needs for most. Easy to use and works for the majority of people that need a autonomous program to get some great shots. It flies while you control camera and angle, or does it all for you and it gets the job done. With quick field adjustments and it's ability to follow nap of the earth missions, it has a great feature set.
I don't care to use dronelink and never have, they did a few weird things to their customers years ago as you recall. I just have been following the threads for 5 years and Litchi is the premire for use, that's what I was referring too. IF you like Drone link fine, I have no use for it. Litchi does all I would need for autonomous flight and apparently I am not the only one that feels that way. Drone link runs all it's systems from the device thus it relies on the devices power, it supersedes the SDK side of things and the power that DJI put into it's high end aircraft. Just watching it do a simple orbit on some videos gives me the Ebbie Jeebies. As I said I'm not knocking it..you like it, fine..I like the Power and versatility and programing on my PC...different strokes for different folks.. No worries or concerns from me mate.
I do all the programming for Litchi or DL on my PC as well. I am not aware of any feature that supersedes the DJI SDK and in fact is often a limiting factor for getting asked for features that aren't supported by the SDK.I don't care to use dronelink and never have, they did a few weird things to their customers years ago as you recall.

Dronelink can only do what the SDK allows it to. With drones like the Mini (and probably the MA2 when the SDK is released), the only way Litchi will be able to support waypoints (coming in an future update) is by using the same “virtual stick“ system of sending commands from the app that Dronelink uses.
Litchi can be used to set waypoints and POI's offline on a pc, using the Mission Hub and testing the flight in Google Earth. It is so much easier, mission can be tweaked prior to actual flight.
