I’m not using n8n, but I am using Node-RED and would like to hear from people who have used both.

I’m running n8n now, and used Node-RED several years ago.
I’m ultimately coming to the conclusion that I prefer Node-RED. They’re pretty similar in capability, at least for my purposes, and the modern UX of n8n doesn’t make up for its weird license, in-app upsells (e.g. “this feature is only available on the Enterprise plan”), and increasingly AI-centric functionality.

My thoughts exactly. Node-RED is long overdue for a UI/UX overhaul, but it’s been around forever and is very well established with a lot of plugins.
I started using it for IoT ingestion, but now I use it for all sorts of things (mostly related to home automation).
That said, im also running n8n now due to the hype, and it is nice… but I dont see any differences that would make me move to it for most of what im automating.
