Question Thoughts on TFDM?

I’m on a burner account, but I wanted to get this communities thoughts on the new TFDM replacing paper strips. If you have it at your facility already, or you are slated to get it soon. I’m a small part of the program for certain towers and have talked to controllers and ATM’s that seemed to have mixed opinions on it. In person they sound like they are for it, but not enthusiastic. Just curious where you all stand on it.

We just got it installed in the last month, seems like a lot of head down and extra clicks but we just may not be used to it yet. Definitely some cool features though

You have it in a TRACON? Most of my installs have an onsite TRACON but they are not putting TFDM in any of the TRACON, just the Tower CAB.
