  1. Opendoas has a significantly smaller codebase. It only has 4397 lines of code compared to Sudo-rs's staggering 35990 lines.

  2. It has a very simple config file which can do everything I want in less than 6 words.

  3. It is a soft fork of BSD's doas package and receives frequent audits(something I find reassuring since it is a method to gain root access on my system.

  4. I don't want or need 99% of the features sudo provides so I appreciate the simplicity and lightness of opendoas
