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 ?

Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…

Doesn't work for every use case, but perfect for mine. I was just pointing out other options.

And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)
