People are weirdly salty about this show, idk why. There's nothing wrong with this anime. It's a solid 7/10. It's entertaining, has decent mech designs, the characters don't act ridiculous, and the plot is coherent and simple. It's not a deep show. It's not an amazing show. But I certainly can't think of anything I didn't like or anything that makes it a bad show. I respect small, contained anime that don't try to be something they are not and don't have a wide-sweeping plot they aren't ready to handle. Just because it's a mecha show doesn't mean it should be compared to Gundam. The plothere is much "smaller" / more containe, less complex than your average Gundam series. This show is also significantly less dramatic than a Gundam series.

If you just want to watch an entertaining, coherent, self-contained, decent mecha anime then this is a great pick for that. I would only not watch this show if, for some strange reason, you are expecting a Gundam show. Then no, absolutely do not watch since this is much smaller, simpler story.
