Plesk or cPanel: Which One Do You Prefer?

Both Plesk and cPanel are popular paid control panels used for managing websites, domains, databases, email accounts, and other hosting features.

I've seen people prefer cPanel because they're already familiar with it, while others find Plesk easier to work with. One thing I find interesting about Plesk is that it also supports Windows Server, so you can install it on an existing Windows VPS or RDP server and use it to manage your websites.

I'm curious which one you use and what makes you prefer it. Do you think one is actually better than the other, or is it just a matter of getting used to the interface?

Also, are there any alternatives you'd recommend?
 
For shared hosting with customers I'd still go cPanel, mostly because people already know where everything is and you get fewer "where's my email" tickets. On my own VPS I don't run either, with the per-account licensing it makes no sense for a handful of sites, plain nginx and a few scripts do the job. Plesk I'd only pick if Windows or IIS is in the picture.
