To the point above, the only "major flaw/setback" regarding Coachella that would make me pause about going is essentially the cost. Beers are expensive, food is expensive, lodging is expensive, Ubers are expensive, getting to Palm Springs if you aren't a SoCal resident is expensive, etc. If it's a "if everything breaks right for me I can scrape up enough money to go" thing, I'd say wait one more year and save more to really enjoy it.
If money isn't an issue, there's nothing about Coachella that would make me hesitate from going. Sure, there's some crowded acts, but that's every festival.
Seriously. Do what everyone else does. Go. Camp on site. And instead of buying beer inside fill a plastic flask with booze and smuggle it in up your butthole.

Be sure to bring along your butt spigot and a close friend for assistance.
I literally walked in with an open Gatorade bottle filled with vodka red bull this year. That's an outlier, but I don't think it's any worse than other fests I've been to.

Don't listen to these guys. Coachella sucks. Stick with Bonnaroo.
I'm really hoping the new outdoor stage happens next year. If they move some of the bigger edm acts to there, that'll free up some Sahara spots for more Royksopps and Underworlds.

Soulwax will get one of those spots, but I always envisioned them on the main or closing a tent. Orbital will probably be there.
The Sahara being overcrowded is definitely an issue but it's not like they put more than one or two acts worth seeing in there per year anyway.
For us, but the acts they put there do draw a ton of people.
Shift the more well known names to the new stage for big crowds and let them close the Sahara twice. Some of those names and the genre itself is simply too big for any tent at this point. 8 years ago, one could always find a spot and I think the Sahara was even smaller then.

That seems to be the best solution. The rumor is they'll add a stage this year, which would be perfect for those bigger EDM acts.
Twenty One Pilots Hate On Coachella During Firefly Headline Set
“You know, we’ve been looking forward to this show for quite some time, my friends,” he said. “And listen — it’s not that we don’t like Coachella, it’s just that we can’t stand it. When I hear about that festival, I always tell ‘em, ‘Have you ever been to Firefly, though?’ We would take you guys every single day.”

Couldn't that be due to playing Cal Jam? The tour itself seems pretty scaled back compared to their previous tours as well, with them playing smaller cities.

Ah didn't see that. Never mind. I do think the fact they're skipping a lot of major cities opens them up for a festival run next summer, but probably not Coachella

Agreed, could see them playing a bunch of LN or AEG fests but not Coachella.
For second liners I'd go with these if I had to guess today roughly ranked in my confidence of them being there. Put spaces in between large confidence factor gaps. As in top 5 I'd be pretty surprised to see not there (big GV shows/connections or desire to play there), 6-10 I'd bet on but not strongly, 11-12 is a gut feel to fill out rap, and 13-18 are essentially guesses
