Default Is FLARM helpful?

I have a Flarm and a transponder. A am of the opinion that you owe it to the pilots you fly with to have a Flarm, makes it much safer for you and the pilots you share the same airspace. i know in France, maybe other European countries Flarm is mandatory, and for a good reason. As for transponder, I fly where there is much traffic and again, it is much safer with the mode S transponder, I can see the fast jets before I could visually.

Has anyone been thankful that they have had FLARM?

And do the same people have a transponder?

How many people fly with FLARM or Transponder?

Let's hear about the close calls, or potential close calls, or even the peace of mind of awareness.
