Actually, they have a very good on-time record. Partly because they use uncongested airports, and partly because they incentivise (as in incentivise with extreme prejudice) their staff.
You wont have any luggage with you
I'll give you this one, although 10kg carry-on is plenty for many people.
You are ok with to land in airport very far from the city center
Depends on where you're going. Some (eg: HHN, GRO) are indeed miles from the city they purport to serve (although nobody's forcing you to go to Frankfurt...). Others (SXF, DUB) are the same airport that everybody else serves. And yet more (PIK, CIA) are arguably closer and/ or more convenient than the 'main' airport.
You dont expect any service at all and I mean any service
On all my FR flights, I have had polite and friendly checkin agents and cabin crew.
Just expect that you will maybe be flown from A to B, at some point in some kind of chair
That's all I ask. Even better, the seats don't recline on FR

It's horses for courses. If you're young, free and single and you can travel off-peak to a destination you didn't know you wanted to go to, and you pack light, and you read the rules, and can jump through the hoops then you really can travel for next to nothing.
If you're a family of 6, travelling with 35kg of luggage each, absolutely have to be in Barcelona for a wedding, might change your mind about the return flight, don't have access to a printer, etc then perhaps it's not for you.
