Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? (jlai.lu)

It's proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

    I get that. But at the same time, when shit does go wrong, it's so much harder to work around their whole system when it's so unfamiliar. I'm not speaking from experience with unraid. Just other NAS solutions (TrueNAS) and other "easy mode" options from other tech. I almost always end up tossing it out for the less hand-holing option. Because then I have to understand it, and if I understand it, it becomes so much easier.
