Used to think active dry yeast was the only way, but instant yeast won me over

For years I only used active dry yeast because that's what my grandma taught me. She said the proofing step was necessary to wake it up. But after 6 months of trying instant yeast from a bakery workshop, I got the same rise with 15 minutes less prep time. Has anyone else made the switch and seen better results with their bread?

My grandma actually switched to instant yeast after she accidentally bought it instead of active dry and didn't notice until she'd already mixed everything together lol. The bread came out perfect and she never went back.
