That depends on what situation the crypto is in. As of now, the transaction fee is cheap or almost free if you ask me and there are altcoins that have very low fee so, if you ask me right now if I will use lightning network then my answer is no but if the transaction fee right now is very high then yes, I will surely use lightning network to have fast transactions and low fees. Who wouldn't want a high transaction fee if you don't have lots of money?
If the transaction fee is still very low, I think the use of the lightning network is not really needed because normal transactions can still handle it. And what you say is true that using altcoins that have very low fees can already reduce the costs that we have to spend. So, in this case, as long as the fees we incur are not too high, I don't want to try the lightning network yet, maybe someday and hopefully, the current transaction fees won't go up high in the future.
