There were 2.5 major ones for me:

Higher upload limit for game clips/highlights. OBS didn't handle transcoding the stream down to a lower resolution without hitting the GPU hard enough to make the game stuttery
Higher stream resolution/fps. This mattered less to me as the homies aged and played games less frequently
Use the obnoxious custom emoji reactions between servers. I could upload some real egregious shit on a test server and use it in the homie server

This is one of the reasons these "let's replace Discord" threads are so tricky. I use Discord basically every day, and heavily twice a week for games nights with two different groups, for 6 years. I'm in there. And I have never uploaded a clip or streamed anything, so I never considered that this might be something people want, or are using the platform for. And I've seen a few custom emoji around, but never considered using some dude's emoji in a different group's chat.

So it's wild how different people are using it, and getting one replacement to do all of it is a big ask!
