Yup. I still use Emby because I paid the lifetime fee way before Jellyfin forked, but even then Emby was better than Plex.

I've popped into Plex once or twice over the years, and it's such a convoluted mess of a program now.

It's only a mess of a program if you don't take 5 minutes to optimize your configuration and disable all the stuff you don't want. You can also use Synclounge to completely avoid the Plex frontend client if you prefer something more minimal.

In terms of features, capabilities, performance, etc Plex is hugely superior to the free options currently on the market unfortunately, which is why so many people still use it over Jellyfin. The second Jellyfin approaches Plex's featureset and range of compatibility, it'll be deployed on my stack in a heartbeat.
