If you have already taken my Jira Cloud Development with Connect course on Udemy, then you may remember how in the introduction I described Forge as the future but still quite limited.
Altassian Forge has come a long way since.
In a nutshell, Forge removes the requirement on the plugin developer to create an environment within which to run the plugin once it is ready. With Forge, Atlassian run the plugin for you in their own systems, and you can just focus on writing the add-on and marketing it to your users.
Forge is the future, and if you can write your add-on in Forge, then you should. However, with convenience come restrictions, and this means that with Forge there are things you will not be able to do, and for many scenarios, Connect is still the answer.
Having said that, it is time to get serious about Forge, and my Udemy course for Jira App Development with Atlassian Forge is already work in progress. Expected release date is November 2021.
