Actually, everyone understands that mainnet experience is like taking a taxi during rush hour: when you're in a hurry, it’s expensive and traffic jams happen. My compromise approach is pretty simple: for daily interactions (transfers, small DeFi transactions), I mostly use L2; I only go to the mainnet for two types of operations—permissions changes / address swaps, which are “once and manage for a long time,” or when I really encounter a critical situation. Saving gas is just superficial; more importantly, don’t tie yourself to the bridge.

Recently, new L1/L2s have started offering incentives to attract TVL, and I understand the complaints from old users about “mining, liquidity, selling”… Anyway, when I encounter this now, I treat it as a stress test: whether the bridge has an emergency channel, how long withdrawals take, whether it gets stuck during chain congestion. It’s uncomfortable to keep money anywhere, but at least it prevents the worst-case scenario from wiping out everything overnight. That’s how I handle it for now.
