Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn't get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I'm getting rid of that anyway.
Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it's been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:
Client availability is valid. I use an android tv, that's been easy for me. There are mobile clients for every phone and tablet.
Skip intros and credits is available on Jellyfin.
I think the Plex UI is still better than Jellyfin, but I've gotten used to it.
Never used the smart collections when I was on plex, so can't speak to that.
I like Emby too, personally.
