I have to fight the urge to click on this article's picture…



There we go; OCD assuaged.

Who cares, there's really no need anymore unless you want ugly Winterboard themes or pirated apps.
Perhaps there's no need for you, but others look forward to:


* Activator and the complete control it provides over hardware buttons
* Passcode reconfigurations for better security
* Emulation of old game consoles (though there are some legal…ish non-jailbroken versions)
* BiteSMS and other such system refinements

you don't need to jailbreak to install pirated apps anymore, more to the point there are many useful tweaks for iOS7 Inc Touch ID per App, Auki -Quick reply (feature of iOS8 - beta is too unstable right now) Activator. etc

Worth it for adblocker alone ;)

This is one of the biggest reasons I jailbreak. I have a few apps that force you to view an ad upon opening the app and with adblocker, it gets rid of that.
