Given the current state, I wish they would just bump QOTSA, but I'm still not convinced. My fear is that they would both preheadline and they wouldn't book both. But on the other hand, if it happened, it would be incredible.
sidenote - I think they should let Flylo close the Sahara sometime.

I really dont understand why so many people on inforoo think that QOTSA are a headliner at a major fest
There is a rush to bump acts here without reason. Arctic Monkeys are a good example. It stems from an actual need for headliners, the inability to separate mid-tier/majors, taking regions out of context, and the simple fact that some posters can't identify them.

There's actually a very real chance I make it to Coach in 2018. I know about all the positives, but are there any major flaws/setbacks of this fest? (i.e. large police presence, crazy long lines, heat, security, etc.)

The main drawback is securing lodging, whether that be through a hotel or camping. At this point most hotels are gone or are super expensive. If you camp, bringing or renting camping gear poses logistical issues.
Also, getting there from an airport. Palm Springs has its own airport, but flights tend to be pricey, especially that weekend.

For one thing, and this is my personal opinion so maybe a vet can chime in here, but judging by just the past two years I've gone the Sahara after 5PM is at the same time a major draw and a major setback of Coachella. A lot of acts you'll want to see but probably won't because making your way around that area, especially the bottleneck, is horrific

Given Coachella's propensity for addressing complaints and critique, I can't fathom this wouldn't be fixed next year.
They do a good job of shifting crowds so that everyone gets a chance in the Sahara. I've never had a problem getting in there, personally. It just might take leaving the set before 20-30 min earlier for a bigger name.
Edit: and tbh I don't remember fighting much traffic ever

I only had an issue once (and just gave up lol), but that was many years ago. Usually anything I want to see in there is fairly sparsely attended anyway.
Didn't they move some things around with the tents this year? Did it help?

I only went to Sahara once during peak hours for Royksopp, but even that was crazy packed. Normally I enter crowds through the sides, but even that was impossible. The overcrowding has definitely become a big issue.

Gobi and the Mojave. Don't have anything to compare it against because unless it was earlier in the afternoon, I didn't even bother. I did make to Anna Lunoe this year between Grace Mitchell and Goldlink; she was awesome

This.
I went for Royksopp and for DJ Khaled and both times it was absolutely jam packed and made enjoying the show nearly impossible.

I at least had some room in the back for Royksopp, but it felt way overcrowded. Again, I can't see them ignoring the issue next year.
Was it more a case of people trying to see Royksopp or Sahara campers? They really just need a big EDM/hip-hop stage at this point (which to my understanding is what was happening).

Mainly people camping for Garrix at that point. The problem is that there's too many people for the big artists who play there, plus no similar programming to split the crowds.

Definitely campers. I attempted to walk in from the left side opening closest to the stage and stood right behind the artist pit. About 10min before the show, there was plenty of room it felt like, then all the kids came back from their piss/water runs and started locking arms and shoving their way past people to make their way to the front center, not giving a fuck if they knocked into people in the process. After getting into that shoving match with a young bro I gave up and left for Moderat after Royksopp's first track.
