I switched from liquid chlorine to salt/chlorine generator about 5 years ago and would never go back. It's mostly a no-brainer. At least for me it can sometimes be fiddly, especially when you get a new cell or when seasons change, lots of rain, and/or chlorine demand significantly changes. According to my manual, a cell inspection is called for about every 3 months but I push that to 6. Removal is as easy as unscrewing the couplings, pulling the salt cell, and rinsing it out IF it has some scale. As mentioned already, it's not very expensive and it is mostly set it and forget it. I agree that the water quality seems much improved with salt -- it definitely feels softer and it's definitely easier to float!
