Roux while still very much an underdog is gaining popularity as the method for one handed (OH) solves. The 2023 world champion of OH used roux to gain this title. I even heard of cases where people that use CFOP are now learning roux to use it exclusively for OH solves. The main advantages of roux for OH are that it requires fewer moves, requires no cube rotations (which are awkward to do with one hand) and you can use the table to act as a second hand when performing middle layer slices.

I’m never going to be particularly fast - ~50s best measured time which may not be my best time - but I really love roux. It’s meditative, like cube Taichi.
