It takes longer to tie, and it helps to have a tool (although there are ways around this) so it is more of a pain in the azz but the results are definitely worth it and I think few people who have used it ever go back to something cruder.
Search for Knot assist 2.0 There is a youtube video as well.

Once you master the FG you will never go back, especially if you doing a lot of casting and the knot needs to travel through the guides.
For trolling where the knot basically never needs to go through the guides I use the modified Albright as it is much easier to tie.
I am proud to say I have yet to have an FG fail on me. I pretty much retie on every outing just for peace of mind plus it keeps me in good practice.
I thought it was interesting to see that if you go on youtube you can prolly find 30 different ways to tie the same FG knot..... just have to find the "technique" that works for you.
