ETF vs Mutual Fund: What made you choose ETFs over mutual funds?

I'm trying to understand why more Indian investors are choosing ETFs.

From what I've learned:

* ETFs trade like stocks throughout market hours.
* They often have lower expense ratios.
* Index ETFs are easy to use for passive investing.
* Mutual funds are still more convenient for many SIP investors.

For those who invest in ETFs, what was the biggest reason you switched? Cost, transparency, liquidity, or something else?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing different experiences.
