Alternatives to Nest Thermostat? Or why keep using?

My Trane is an older (regular ZWave with Beaming, 40kbit) that I used prior to the Nest (gen1) stuff. It works fine, has local schedule, etc.

I currently have the local schedule disabled, and I’m trialing hubitat’s Thermostat Scheduler. There are a few kinks to get ironed out there, but it generally works fine.

It’s very vanilla looking, details are in the post, incl a picture :
