Hi, I use MX Linux. It's main attraction to me is being debian based with a useful tool suite which helps a lot if you're not of the mind of using the terminal for tasks which have proper GUIs.
Is it good or bad? Depends on your use case. I'll say, tho, having to migrate my whole computer when upgrading (like from release 20 to 21) can be a pain in the ass as it limits your upgrades to the release you're using (20.1 can upgrade to 20.2 but 20.3 can't upgrade to 21.0). But it's debian, so the upgrades are mostly stable
It's main popularity on distrowatch is derived from curiosity clicks.
Picture this:
You open distro watch and see a "popular" distro you have never heard of.
You click that distro's page to check
That click bumps MX up in the rankings
More people see this uncommon "popular" distro leading the ranks
They check the distro page
Rinse and repeat
