DirectAdmin or cPanel?

Following on from the change in pricing structure announced by cPanel in mid-2019 there have been many discussions around decisions being made by hosts to increase their own pricing, swallow the extra costs, consolidate their services onto fewer servers, or to simply change to another control panel. Now, in 2021, a new discussion has started pitting 2 major control panels, DirectAdmin and cPanel, against each other. How have things changed for you since the pricing shakeup of 2019? Have you switched panels, have the changes in cPanel pricing been justified by improvements in the software, has DirectAdmin risen to the challenge? See what people are saying in the thread and share your own opinions and experiences.
