Very heavy UI tweaking. Workspaces, aka virtual desktops, have been supported since forever. Support for odd, old, and low resource hardware. Better dev environment if you do programming or scripting. Good for use with non-desktop applications like a NAS, Plex server, HTPC

Once it's properly setup, it requires very little maintenance.
It's difficult to fuck up as long as you don't give them root permissions.

All dem development tools and existing open source projects that lets you do cool things on cheap hardware.
