One advantage of SIWF over SIWE is that you don’t need to have 3+ different buttons / flows corresponding to different wallet providers 

Just scan a QR code, and you're authenticated

I hope that as SIWF extends to other clients, the simplicity of having a single interface is maintained

fwiw i've had a terrible experience with siwe 

it's way too complicated and requires a fairly complicated logic for managing any sort of user state, especially if you need to issue a jwt

it feels like a huge bottleneck to actually creating useful apps that you need two steps at a minimum (connect, sign)

agreed, it's painful and I've used hacks like:
- auto-prompting signature after connecting rather than requiring another click (though if you're on mobile, this doesn't work with deep links apparently...)
- using iron session — the old wagmi docs had a good example:
