Oh and I forgot that there is a possiblity that the other node goes ofline and you lose access to your funds
You have not used Zeus.
I do. The opening channels part still applies
Is this true? I've never run a lighting node (I did attempt it though and failed)

To send transaction on
Monero:
- Open wallet
- Scan/paste receiver address
- Eneter amount
- Send
Lightning:
- Create a node
- Open at least one sending cahnnel (pay the on chain fees)
- Hope that you haven't messed any of the settings and everything goes through
- For some unknown reason get a channel with less money than the one you opened
- Open wallet
- Scan/paste receiver address
- Eneter amount
- Send
You see what I am talking about?

Maybe if you're using paper and pencil to send via Lightning, but contemporary lightning wallets handle all that shit. You literally just paste your invoice and hit send. And wallets like Breez handle all the channel BS on-the-fly in the background without any user intervention.
The wallets don't handle it all. The people behind the wallets do. (You rely on them)
