I play 3.95 mostly out of nostalgia, but also because I solely play pad files and I have no real use for Etterna. The only time I play keyboard files is when I'm on FFR. As a result, I have learned that, on a long enough timeline, trying to play at a high level is more stressful than diverting. I'd rather play to have fun, and 3.95 provides that for me.
I really don't want to understate the power of opting for objectively broken and inferior shit as a means to cling to my childhood, however. In a vacuum, playing 3.95 over even Stepmania 5 is a curious decision indeed.
