Nah. I use F-Droid. Only because it's one of the only alternative app stores available that actually has a decent selection of applications.
Their build schedule is unnecessarily complex + slow. Can be waiting for weeks for app updates.
The stock client is quite frankly, crap - slow and outdated.
It's security is sub-par. If you're looking for secure app updates the Play Store is the way to go (if you're willing to compromise your privacy). They also use remote signing for apks (so, F-Droid builds then signs the APKs on behalf of developers).
One thing I'm hoping will pick up speed is Accrescent - https://accrescent.app/ https://accrescent.app/. It is in a very very alpha stage at the moment and only includes a handful of apps. It's built with security in mind from the get-go and doesn't compromise just to support lower, outdated/insecure android versions.
I hope for it to be the modern standard for alternative app stores.
