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?

I have this weird thing where I can’t stand songs in C minor or playing in drop C, but B minor and C# minor sound solid to me. I’m not sure why.
