Ya, my ASRock X370 Taichi is long in the tooth but I have come to really like their boards. Originally ASRock was a development part of Asus but went solo in 2002. One of the things I like most is that ASRock boards are just better organized. The organization even includes of running cables. Let's take SATA ports as an example. Too many times I see SATA ports all over the board but with my ASRock it has all 10 SATA3 ports in a bank along the front edge of the board. This just makes building a lot easier and the SATA data cables can be easily bundled for cable routing.
Another thing is that on MANY boards you have to remove the video card to mount and/or change an M.2 drive as they tend to run at 90 degrees from the video so run under the video card. With my ASRock the M.2 slots run parallel to the video card allowing mounting/replacing without having to remove the video card.
Not saying that I'll never use another board but ASRock is where I first look. From my experience they just tend to be better designed and easier to deal with.
