I'm using firefox version 56 and refuse to update since I lots of legacy extensions that won't work if I go on version 57 onwards. Waterfox has still support for these extensions and I plan to just copy and paste my AppData\Roaming\Mozilla folder from Firefox to Waterfox to migrate all my data.
Is there any reason not to use Waterfox over Firefox?
I used it for a year before reluctantly upgrading to quantum for extentions I needed at the time.
You won't notice much difference, but get the warm feeling of ditching mozilla and their shenanigans, so that's a nice meme.
From what I could gleam from the subreddit and the devs twitter, waterfox might be in store for webextension support, so I might come back to it too.

Waterfox would be lying to yourself if you don't go full retard, as in, libre distro along with it.

Waterfox seems like an out of date Firefox with small privacy improvements that still don't do enough. Wouldn't it be better to use the current version of Firefox with a heavily edited user.js to improve privacy and security? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still learning.

The point of Waterfox is that in enables you to use the latest Xul extensions together with most Webextensions (it doesn't support the version 60+ features yet). If you don't need the old extensions, just use the latest Firefox - you're going to get updates faster and blend in better.
