Buggy in what sense?  It’s definitely lacking useful features, as Robert
reported, but apart from that it seems to work well for me.

I’d encourage you to report any issues you have to bug-mcron <at> gnu.org.
Overall, I agree that we should work to make it more pleasant to work
with!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
