Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Oh GMK hasn't really changed, their timings though are much much better now for their group buys.
  • Tbh keycaps haven't really changed, arguably GMK is still King of the castle, epbt (enjoy pbt) are quite well received.
  • A lot of people (myself included) prefer GMK because it feels better than PBT, has more vibrant colors, and is double shot instead of dye sub
  • I’m one of the rare few that likes gmk packaging. Lower impact on the environment is best
  • A quality set of PBTFans or GMK keycaps are noticeably better than many of the clones, or at least the ones I've come in contact with.

Cons

  • yeah i wish GMK and KKB would release sets with a stepped CTRL , would be so much nicer for HHKB enthusiasts
  • The quality is so good yet the price is lower, I don't get it lol what's GMK got that brings everyone running to their ABS caps
  • Mods fonts aren't as good as GMK, but I prefer the texture.
  • lets start with the packaging, GMK... you need to take some notes. While I appreciate the sustainable approach GMK employs with their recyclable packaging... when you pay $100+ for a fancy set of plastics, its nice to not have them jumbl...
  • GMK uses the Cherry font, which is more or less Helvetica Rounded.

Tbh it’s the cost for me, 1 they are already pretty expensive for base kits, and then add on the novelties or numpads even alert rows, then after all that, shipping to my country is insanely overpriced, adds up to over 300 NZD for me, not worth it really.
