I'm a GMG fan and to me Traegers are great in that they were the first pellet grills to make a name for themselves and got the p[ellet grill interest spiked. They have been the source of many persons start in this area and still are. However, I'm glad I didn't buy a Traeger! I don't want to deal with big temp swings, I don't want to learn complicated "P" settings and try to adapt a cook to them, and I want a controller that measures grate temps and ambient temps and adjusts fan speed and auger feed rates to keep my set temp where it is, whether it's 10° ambient temps or 25mph winds. The GMG does that, Traeger does not. So although Traeger has changed many lives just being what it is, I'm glad I didn't begin my pellet journey at 1st or 2nd generation technology but got in at at least the 3rd level. Now with meat pobes and remote temp adjustments I feel a bit out of the "current" loop, but still know I am way ahead of the "p" mode!
