Ignore ‘smaller userbase’ if you prefer it that way. We’re talking about it as a platform, in its UI, functionalities, etc.
I go first: You can post images in the text body with a simple Ctrl+V. No need to upload it somewhere or even save to your device.

We’re not there yet, but: stability. Once the development is reaching a stable release, even a few big servers shutting down will have no cascading effects on the rest of the network. It will just be some communities that are gone and that’s it. This also means no outside manipulation, no single attack vector for the network. The truth is, the best things about it will be the things that we won’t see anymore.
Lack of advertisements. Last time I used the official Reddit app it showed an advertisement every 5 posts or so. And of course no way to disable it. Good riddance.
