Not having to deal with the distributed computing problems a blockchain provides. No worrying about any proof of stake slowdowns or overhead.

I don't think urbit is all that great, either, but this is coming from someone who decided to increase their investment in face to face conversations following social media starting to crumble.

Ethereum operates perfectly smoothly, with zero downtime since launching 8 years ago. In any case, besides peripheral features like NFT-gated forums and Ethereum Name Service created proxy bames, this doesn't use Ethereum's distributed network. Just the public key wallet software built for using Ethereum.
