Documentation
It's a trouble to really find decent documentation on the web. You have to dive into blogs and whatnot to figure out how to create menus.

Blipbloop Agans's Experience
Since rofi is a drop-in replacement to dmenu & also has a bunch of inbuilt capability, AND it has simple theming, it's an easy win over the alternatives

Compressed visual design
Much busier looking, less spacing or white space compared to similar apps.

Amine Parae's Experience
Not so much documentation but the manual is enough. Also, more customizable and more complete than dmenu

Minimalist design, yet can use customizable themes
Also it's easy to make use of your own "plugin" (scripts).

Highly usable in scripting, piping.
Programmed in smart way: less code is more usability and solid.
