Ethers is widely adopted, which means many existing tutorials and forums already exist, saving developers time when they have an issue. I also attentively monitor the Ethers discord and GitHub issues to provide assistance. The API is designed to be simple, but secure-by-default, so that developers new to the space don't fall prey to common pitfalls. The FallbackProvider is deigned around untrusted 3rd party services, to protect against both malicious and offline backends.
