From what I can tell, Deno doesn't allow you to compile JS code into a native library, which was my primary use case. Also, QuickJS is much easier for me personally to grok, and to integrate into my existing build system, so it was a no-brainer. The only time I'd prefer another runtime is if I had really high performance expectations, but if that was the case, I'd probably write a new implementation of the JS library in a performance focused language versus try to shoehorn JS into doing something it wasn't designed to do
