Depends on the kind of transaction you are doing. For bigger transactions it is actually nice not having to pay percentual fee as with Bitcoin. However with coinbase I believe they are high percentually.

You can easily buy fee free on coinbase if you use buy orders instead of market buys.

This changed in 2019 (https://ethereumworldnews.com/end-of-coinbase-pro-introduces...).

At this point, there is no way to trade for free on Coinbase or Coinbase Pro. However, maker orders do still have a lower fee vs taker orders on Coinbase Pro, depending on the pricing tier / how much you trade per month (https://help.coinbase.com/en/pro/trading-and-funding/trading...).

You can pay 1$ for a BTC transfer, so outrageous.

I recently paid $50 for a BTC transfer, and it took 16 hours to get into a block.
