Nice. We've used MJML in our SaaS for designing all emails for quite a while now. Makes it so easy to get new layouts done. Pity that the MJML plugin for Atom (my editor of choice) is outdated now though.
VS Studio dominates the market at the moment, have you had any complaints about compatibility issues around email clients from your customers/subscribers?
No complaints for the past 4 or so years, and we send out ~800 transactional emails per day to our customer base at the moment. And yes, I might have to make the leap over to VS Code - so many things seem to run better on it than Atom...
As a non-dev I really liked using this tool, but I wish they would update the templates, I don't think they've changed in the 3 years since I first used it and some of the code has changed that breaks them.
Good tutorial

Is mjml compatible with outlook? Is there a problem when rendering?
For basic layouts mostly it's okay. But for the complex layouts (like a grid) you might see some inconsistencies among the different email clients, but still, it's easier to fix compared to coding from scratch
Basically it depends on what components you're using....here is the full list https://mjml.io/faq#email-clients
