What people like

You can build real automations without writing code, and self-hosting means you're never locked into their cloud or their pricing.

Worth knowing

It's now a well-funded, VC-backed company rather than a scrappy indie shop, and its own licence isn't standard open source, so check what it allows before reselling anything built on it.
