Counterpoint it is a worse copy of Apples San Francisco. Made by very determined but not very experienced typographer. It started by taking Roboto and redrawing/morphing San Francisco over Roboto. This leads to lots of inconsistencies (something that got better over time especially with outside contributions) and it wont get you much respect with type community.
Not to say its not better UI typeface than most (especially open source ones). Or that creating such typeface is not time consuming. I often use it too. I am just trying to point out that the why it works so well for UI should be attributed mostly to team behind San Francisco.
