You may just want something a bit snappier, say if you are coming from massive bloatware IDE land?

Linux kernel developers would not want to use the third option on your list.

Any serious user of FX data will want to see the bid/offer points and calculate the mid themselves. This is fine for someone creating a pretty ticker on their app, which I suppose is their target market.
shermanmccoy··on “Why We Sleep” Is Riddled with Scientific and Factual Errors
Thank you! I was turned off even earlier by the glaring 'post hoc ergo propter hoc' logic error on the very first page of the text.

Quoting from the second paragraph, following a load of claims of the maladies that come from lack of sleep:

"Fitting Charlotte Bronte's prophetic wisdom that a 'ruffled mind makes a restless pillow', sleep disruption further contributes to all major psychiatric conditions..."

It is plain that Charlotte Bronte was inferring psychiatric conditions lead to sleep disruption, not the other way around.
