To those who are using it, may i ask what’s worth the switch from Kali ?

Yes. Is it better than kali?
Kali has gotten very bloated. That’s why in their latest release they also did a cleanup of the packages included.
ParrotOS is nice because you can easily install a package-group specific for pentesting, web, forensics, mobile, …
I also have the feeling it runs a lot smoother than Kali did in the past.
Also, ParrotOS is non-root by default. While Kali (in the past) did everything as root, which is just a no-no in the security field.
You’ll curse this a few times (e.g. installing tools in /opt/ will require sudo each time), but in the end it’s just best practice to run as non-admin as much as possible.
ParrotOS is also a nice OS for daily usage, as @CanTchaSee pointed out.
I love working on my ParrotOS box even for casual browsing and programming
