It has small leaflets that give diffuse sunlight through the tree and isn t clogging. It has huge pods that give interest in the off season. As for the native thorned version, they scrape of quite easily with a handsaw or polesaw. The pain usually comes with a reach around and contacting one that you missed. LBut you usually reach around carefully. There isn t any on the branch ends. Clean up is very slow to say the least.
