I hope this is a good place to ask: what do people in HN use for torrent client?

I recently learned that transmission got hacked (more than once apparently) so I decided to stop using it. The alternatives seem to be deluge or qbittorrent. I picked the latter because it has labels (and supports moving finished downloads to different folders depending on label), which is a feature I'd always wanted in a torrent client. But my point is it seems to me all the torrent clients seems very similar, barring very minor features.

Anyway, what do you people use and why?

I personally use qbittorrent, after ubittorrent got ads way back. I view torrent clients like a good saw/hammer, if it works and you know it well, that's all you need. Sometimes you don't need to put much thought into what software you pick.

For me, Deluge is pretty much perfect. Altough, I don't really use any advanced features.

Deluge for years. Since uTorrent was full of ads and crap (not sure if it still is)

qBittorrent is great: set up qbittorrent-nox on a server somewhere in the world and you can do everything through the WebUI.
