The moment I used Bitcoin Cash myself, I was completely stunned why people keep supporting it.

To give something to back me up, just look at the charts of BCH and it's main competitors: Litecoin and Dogecoin.

total # transactions: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-bch-ltc-do...

-> Litecoin does more than 2x the traffic of Bitcoin Cash and Dogecoin. Remark that Dogecoin sometimes handles more traffic than Bitcoin Cash.

Transaction fee: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactionfees-bch-ltc...

-> Dogecoin clear winner, Bitcoin Cash about the same as Litecoin (but remark that Litecoin handles double the amount of transactions)

So to be honest, I think Bitcoin Cash is just trying to ride the "Bitcoin" name, because for applicability, it doesn't seem to have any advantage over its direct competitors.
