What are the benefits of zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it worth migrating? (lemmy.world)

I've over 40 zigbee devices and am currently using ZHA but keep seeing people recommending using zigbee2mqtt. But I can't work out if it's worth the time re-importing all the devices or not.

What are the benefits of using zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it easy to move over if that's the best way to go?

I moved from zha to z2m, but I'm having a hard time remembering why. I believe there were a few components which weren't working correctly with zha, which work fine with z2m.

It also draws a neat map -

Zha draws a similar map.
