I plan on switching regardless but let's say I was on the fence... Aside from it not being owned by a for-profit company, why is Jellyfin better than Plex?

Jellyfin is 90% plex, and it's impressive how it comes forward in leaps and bounds, but it's not better than plex. People just appreciate it more.

If you only need that 90% that it does (and don't need things like intro detection, conversions, mobile sync, ass/sas subtitles), then you'll come away super happy with not having to pay plex and not being locked into plex.

It doesn't really do much over that 90%, it's just neat that the 90% isn't plex

There's an intro detection plugin for Jellyfin.

And incidentally, this is likely coming to Jellyfin 10.9 through endrl's mediasegments PR
