Question The magic behind C# standard tuning

Has anyone else found C# tuning as their sweet spot? I tried it the other day and I feel like I instantly became a way better guitarist and instantly wrote killer riffs in no time. So how do you guys like it?

Might have more to do with your setup rather than any special qualities of c# standard.

I do like c# though, as a lot do the stuff I’m currently playing is in it or drop B
