- I already use Helm to install open source software; there are already so many Charts available. So that makes it easy to also use Helm for my own apps (I use it just for templating though)
- Helm templating language is more flexible, but that can also bite you since it can become complex. With Kustomize, changing a single environment variable value in a Deployment is quite some work compared to Helm (I don’t like JSON patching)
