Good for you and if you can maintain the node, beautiful. I've done so for 6 years with no remorse.
But for 6 channels I wouldn't run an entire node. Electrum can do quite well with that.
About the negativity, I'm not in. I continue to use LN everyday, some days even 4 or 5 times, and will continue for ever. I'm 100% positive on LN. I just understand what is my level right now, and don't want to waste resources.
