We use LFS at work and its base OS for our firmware. I started working on LFS like 5 years ago and we still use it(transitioning to CentOS minimal). One of the reason, my senior devs choose to stay with LFS was it simplicity and small footprint. We have been using LFS for almost a decade now. It was perfect fit for OS on 30GB SSD. Too much room for other stuff. One of the drawbacks I did saw is packages. Not easy as "yum install <>" and be done. Moreover, It got really tricky to get LFS working on AWS.
