I had three criteria drive me to Leo, and nothing has changed in half a decade or more.
1. Linux support and not as an afterthought. 2. Offline support, simply because the requirement of the Internet is a brittle requirement that relies on a lot of things going right for a lot of people every day. 3. Outliner with clones. I can find 5 or 6 that have this that are online. But Leo is the only one that doesn't require being online. Given that I haven't run a Microsoft operating system since 2001 on my personal computer, step one, which is to chain Leo to a single OS/App pairing, I have no interest. But then IANAP, I am a writer and that is what I use Leo for.
