AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the tent. For example, they say it's well constructed, has high quality zippers, and holds up well in all conditions. The rain fly is solid, and the stitching is high quality. The tent stakes are heavier duty than REI standard ones, but they do bend in hard ground. Overall, most are happy with the quality and functionality of the product.

Customers like the space of the tent. For example, they mention it's roomy for one person, has two vestibules, and has a decent amount of room to store gear inside.

The storage flaps fit packs, gear, and hiking boots easily. That, and the footprint makes a world of difference.

It is big enough for two people but my wife has a 30" air mattress and there isn't enough floor space left for me to get my 19" in there, so when we are together I do now pack a different tent, but it is slightly heavier and no vestibules. This tent is getting older but is still competitive for weight, durability size, and price (but tent prices are going down and this price needs to fall in my opinion).
It is not a four season tent for most here in the pacific northwest. The rain fly is solid, but there is a couple inches of space between it and the ground and the inside layer is just mesh. Not that you can't use it in the dead of winter, but it isn't warm and as others noted, snow could just blow inside. It also does not like high winds. One time I was camped out at 7000 feet on Mt. Saint Helens and the wind flattened it. I did have the tent pointed into the wind and the high winds still bent two of the aluminum rods. The wind also blew away the tent carry bag but that's on me. I was able to get replacements from the company and all was well.
I got a Hilleberg Unna for those extreme adventures. I have a coleman big tent for summer car camping. I have an REI tent I just got at a garage sale (no vestibule!) for the now getting bigger kids. And a few others.
But I kept using this tent for most of my backpacking and camping. I was in in during an all night rainstorm once and it stayed bone dry inside. Half the other campers packed up and went home in the middle of the night because their tents leaked.
And as the years go by, I could see the rain fly aging a little. This last weekend I was in the Sisters wilderness and it rained all night, and sadly the rain fly let some water in. I emailed the company the day after I returned, and they are sending a new rain fly for free!
You can't beat that! All of these tents now use some siliconized fabric for water resistance and I have heard you get about three years of use from them. So I would have happily paid for another fly.
Tents have been getting lighter and less expensive over the last years, but I haven't see a tent with this list of features and good design for less money (yet).
Edit: I finally tested this in the rain, and it did pretty well. There is a cross-bar on the frame that causes some pooling of water though. This can probably be mitigated a bit by making sure the rain fly is pulled tight. Even though I had pooled water on the top of the fly, it only leaked a few drops through the night.
