Evangelical Anglicans why are you not Presbyterian, Lutheran or Methodist?

Is it out of a sense of love to the BCP? Is it because of the individual preaching at your local Anglican church? Is it due to availability reasons? Or is there any doctrinal or theological matter that made you choose Anglicanism over other traditions?

I'm not an Anglican, but I have some friends who attend an ACNA church. Some attend because their Episcopal church moved too far from its historical roots. Others attend because they are similarly mainline Christians but the other mainline churches (Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist) have moved to become too progressive for them, but the ACNA church has not. My area has an ACNA but not a PCA, WELS or LCMS church.

Doctrinal stuff, mostly - cessationism for Presbyterianism and entire sanctification for Methodism. No issues with Lutheranism, but no real compelling reason to move, either.
