There was not much I could find that I did not like. It has all the available views that make it easy you get the details you want, the way you can see what you type in real-time is a big plus

**What problems is MainType solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problems I would sove would be the ability to view all the details in one screen, you can see the font in real-time, save the font in a specific folder \project. Rate the fonts for what you like the best, just a nice layout.
